[QUOTE="Byrd2, post: 1039444, member: 384"] Streaming is really convenient and it does have some advantages, however I think a lot of the experience that came along with physical media is lost. It also points toward a reductionist trend of making this world convenient and easy for larger and larger corporations to setup ?Economies of scale?. Take one thing and sell it many times with as little real work as possible. We don?t get much better for this purpose then digits down a fibre line. CDs were a step along this path for music. We have home deliveries instead of dining out. We have e-travel instead of in person tourism, and now even non touch greetings. The problem with this way of living is it disconnects us from a real world experience, and disconnects us from each other. [/QUOTE]
