Physical Media > Digital Media

Digital media has its advantages — namely space saving. Of course we can't reasonably keep copies of every album, movie, video game and book that we adore. But isn't that kind of the point? We used to be a society that was forced to make hard choices instead of one that endlessly accumulated media that we had even the vaguest interest in.

There is something so special about having a physical and visible reminder of the media you love — their beautifully designed covers, the little guide pamphlets in video games, the smell of an old book — these are things digital can simply never replace.
