Your External Hard Drive Takes You to a Place Where You Ache to Go Again

Family

Nostalgia has incredible power. Whether it’s through a song, photograph or video, nostalgia “takes us to a place where we ache to go again.”

Nostalgia is often used in advertising, especially around the holidays, as a way to remind us of what life was like during a simpler time – often before the dominance of technology. Nostalgia can take us back to a time where our biggest worry was homework, making sure to get home before the streetlights came on or what to wear to prom.

To celebrate the final episodes of AMC’s hit series Mad Men, they’ve released a Facebook app called Carousel based on the episode in which the main character, Don Draper, made his now iconic pitch to Kodak. The app uses Facebook’s backend data to pull your posted photos, inserting them into key scenes replacing the original photos from the episode. The scene does an incredible job highlighting the power of nostalgia. Depending on what photos you have on Facebook, you can’t help but feel the power of nostalgia. Whether it was from your vacation or a special event with family and friends, you felt that twinge of a place you ached to go again.

That feeling of nostalgia is also found on your external hard drive. Seagate understands the importance of your photographs and makes it easy to back up your computer on a product like Seagate Wireless. When you have an external hard drive, you have instant access to all of your media anytime you’re feeling nostalgic and a stroll down memory lane.

Your device is more than just a hard drive. It’s your life story, your storybook.  It’s a reminder of your successes and accomplishments as well as a time capsule where you can take a peek at “life back when.”

With a Seagate hard drive, no memory you make will ever be forgotten again.
