Sleepytime

Late at night, I watch movies and things not for enjoyment but because I know that I'll fall asleep. In a sense, I use media instead of sleeping pills
or chamomile tea to help me relax and unwind and whatnot. I know that that was not the intended purpose of "Xanadu" but it's just so
easy to sleep to it.
I'd like to make a list of numerous forms of media and the different ways we use it that are not the original intent. Here's a short list.

1. Newspapers for wrapping paper.
2. 8-bit video game samples for music.
3. Blogs and Facebook substituting human interaction.
4. Phones that send letters.

The list could go on and on. I'm sure that kids can inform us of other new innovative things.

I really do like "Xanadu."
