With the influx of large storage in home computers as well as PVRs (personal video recorders), what would the repercussions of a media-less society be?
Imagine if you will, a world without DVDs, CDs, or VHS or cassette tapes... but rather all media stored, distributed and used in a digital format.
It's an awfully green prospect by eliminating the useless packaging and the scratch/crack proned media, imagine the amount of plastic production that could be done away with.
I imagine this course is inevitable, but are you ready for it today? Do you, like me, enjoy the packaging of a new DVD or console game? What if it would reduce the cost of the content by 25%?
