Thats the one thing I am have a feeling our generation will be known for we saw the collapse of physical media. From records to 8 tracks to cassette tapes to CD's. From reel to reel to Beta to VHS to DVD to Blu Ray Carts to once again CD and DVD and Blu Ray game media and all the quirks in the middle such as Mini discs HD DVD Super VHS Laser Discs and so on.

When we leave this world it will be I imagine all digitally downloaded and uploaded on smart devices whether that can be a cell phone to tv's.

Kinda depressing when ya think about it and look back to that day you watched your first owned VHS tape that you bought for yourself (mine happened to be THE CROW) and so on.

Times are changing and is it for the best. I guess we will never know for certain really
