It used to involve actually seeing and touching the things you wanted: palpating a pomegranate, stroking the lining of a suit, sitting in a chair. For me, that’s meant trying to discern whether a chair will support my head. It looks cool — in a psychiatrist’s waiting room sort of way — but it doesn’t exactly scream: “Sit on me and take a load off! And besides, I reasoned as we ordered it, I wouldn’t have to sit on it all the time. I settled into the chair and told my wife to rotate me every so often.
