Blockbuster’s video rentals are way down, and use of high-speed Internet is way up. Do you think the two news items are related?
It’s interesting to see how storage is evolving, though. I find myself wondering why people would pay $1/GB of DVD+RW media and another $400 for the burner when they can just pay $400 for 250GB of 5400rpm external storage. That’s enough storage for nearly 500 full-length movies. Four of those things stack to hold 1TB in the size of a Nintendo Gamecube. Akashic Records, here we come.
Too bad all of the video screens and speaker systems on the market todaystill depend on wires. I would love to just buy a 1TB datacube and stick it in a closet somewhere, and never have to worry about CDs or DVDs again.
