Physical vs. Virtual
I recently had a conversation with my father and he gave a point that really interested me. He talked about how e books were the future of reading. “When you publish a book and find a error or misquote, you have to revise and recall all the books in retails just because you messed up one sentence. With e books, its just a few clicks away from fixing your problems.” He was absolutely right about that and I agreed. But most people today are still trying to find a reason to avoid the technology transition, or simply haven’t realized the new change in things. Virtual media is starting to be a huge investment not just in e books, but in software, music and games! But the downfall of virtual media would be “lack of physical collection.” Sure virtual media can drastically reduce matter, but there are people out here who want to actually Own a Music CD (like me). I admit that it does feel less authentic buying a video game or cd online since you cant enjoy that new cd smell when you first open the case. Also the fact it would be harder to find things to sell on ebay unless you are selling cd keys or something. But the main reason for all of this is lack of value!
