The end of physical media is neigh


Very sad news for me personally.  Honestly this struck me as hard or harder than hearing about the death of a beloved artist.   With the advent of machine learning and AI controlling our music listening we are becoming a world without any control at all over our music or movie culture.

Sometime, convenience can come to the sacrifice of quality. At least, at first, before the new convenient technologies have had a chance to evolve and improve. I no longer watch movies via surround sound, DVD and Blu-ray, like I did 15 or 20 years ago, so their demise doesn’t concerns me too much.  However, I can see how others may see cause for concern. I’ll tell you what relatively new technology I have become madly in love with....."Music Streaming." Music streaming at a very high level, that is. I love streaming my music so much that I now stream exclusively. Happy listening.
