Abstract
In this paper, I analyze the role of nostalgia with home media. From owning physical copies of tapes to streaming your favorite shows, how people consume video content has changed over the years. As defined by Svetlana Boym, nostalgia is a desire for a place or era that has either disappeared or is envisioned, rather than merely a wish for a particular location. In the story about Timmy, nostalgia is about memory and the senses. I'm interested in understanding how the shift from physical to digital media changes people's relationships with entertainment. Additionally, I intend to explore the enjoyment of possessing physical media at home and how that has transformed (VHS, CDs, etc.) I will also explore the changes people deal with in their environment (adding buildings to a city/getting rid of a favorite place).
