But we're going to miss some aspects of the tangible world, the sound quality of the CD, the width of a newspaper and the love-hate relationship with the black finger print residue (The New York Times the dirtiest) and equally the width and scannability of a book.
We'll miss these things because the quality was better or the pages were easier to flip.
We're in the middle of a digitization of all our content and while easily and more readily accessible digital content is not fully presentable. It needs to be enhanced.
For music specifically, all files should be sold with the highest sound quality, that is someone needs to figure out how to reduce the FLAC file size. I want the raw file but it has to be no more than 4 megabytes.
If Apple can develop the proprietary AAC compressed format enhances sound, it should be able to develop new compression technology that keeps sound pure.
Although the content producers and content consumers are getting accustomed to digital and forcing everyone to shift we need to have the physical option. And it may be on demand. If I want a physical book Amazon may have to print it upon order. There's still something to be said about content customization. Not everything deserves the digital crunch.
