When I was growing up in the 1970s, I was still able to play 78 rpm records in my home even for decades, 45 and 33 1/3 (LPs) had become the norm. I also had a 1950s era Royal typewriter on my desk that I used for homework and my parents had this old Zenith black and white TV set from the mid 1960s - they didn't replace it until 1982! Back then, everything was expected to last.
During the 1980s and 1990s, I invested thousands of dollars in building an compact audio disc library as well as a VHS video library. At the time, I thought CDs and videocassettes were going to last for a hundred years and I'd be handing them down to my children. Now my kids laugh at them and I'm lucky if I can sell them for pennies on the dollar on Ebay.
Now even MP3s and DVDs seem outdated. For a few dollars a month, you can stream just about any song ever recorded and very quickly video content is going the same way.
Kids these days don’t know how good they have it.
Right ... until you go off the network (or the network goes off). Then you're hosed.
Live by the network ... die by the network.
We live in the sticks, a couple of years ago, the internet was down for 3 weeks after a storm and will frequently be down for a weekend.
Physical media is still appreciated in our house.
