A while ago I was at the supermarket. I suddenly became curious about some fact, and reached into my pocket to Google it.

I found my pocket empty, and the specific pain I felt in that moment was the feeling of not being able to remember something.

I thought it was interesting, because in this case, I was trying to "remember" something I had never learned before -- by fetching it from my second brain (hypertext).
