Will you ever go purely digital with your entertainment?
Hey Guys, what are your thoughts on purely digital media? I have just completed a hub on the subject http://hub.me/afxd6
I am and will continue to be 100% digital. Not only is it better for the environment, but it is simply more practical. I can travel and access my media anywhere when I have it stored up in the cloud. There is little to no risk of losing or damaging digital property, it doesn't get worn, it can't get stolen.
As much as I remember holding my favourite cassettes, and still hold a record collection, it is simply for the quality of sound. I don't think watching VHS is more enjoyable than watching HD, or that fast forwarding is more fun than being able to skip scenes with extreme speed.
As much as we will all remember our walls of games and our entertainment shelves that took over a full wall in the 90's, I think the direction digital is going is just much sexier. What's better than being able to have millions of types of media at your fingertips anytime anywhere?
