Oliver Stone said at CES 2011 that Blu-Ray will most likely to be the last physical media for movie watching and I am inclined to agree with him. However, I for one will always be a fan of physical media, namely CD's and Blu-Rays. There is something very satisfying about holding a tactile item in your hand, looking across a shelf of titles neatly rowed and stored. Removing disc from the case, the colours of the disc shimmering in the light. Opening the disc tray, or sliding it in and hearing the mechanical process of gears and belts spinning. Before the internal combustion engine horses were used by almost for work and travel. Once the car arrived horses were replaced and we've never looked back. Horses didn't become extinct. They're just used in different ways now. Perhaps, physical media will be enjoyed in the same way in 2050. Prophetic.
