Yes this sure is sobering ...

I still prefer to read paper in my comfy chair rather than sitting glued to a computer monitor.

The best quality music I have heard was on LP vinyl on a good hifi system. Digital music is more convenient but loses a certain quality and warmth that analog recordings had. And despite virtual analog synths getting better and better they just get closer to analog synthesis but NEVER better.

Paying bills using mail has much less problems than paying bills online. But there are many problems that occur with online payments that never happened with physical payments.

Convenient is not always better. I can accept that this is how things will go because it is easier ( not necessarily with the user but with corporations ) .. just don't tell me it is always better ..... "Hey you kids get off my lawn"
