It goes without saying, DVDs/BlueRays.

    • Discs**

      Disks continue to be the most efficient way to store bonkers amounts of data.

      Disks refers to magnetic storage or solid state flash storage.

      Discs refers to optical media.

      While optical is still king for physical distribution of media to the masses due to its low cost of production, the rise of streaming will certainly be the thing that rips physical ownership from the hands of the people.

      Dont stop buying DVDs or Blurays

        Sorry for the spelling

        Well, I was born in 2000. When I was growing up, DVDs were everywhere. Almost all books that require supplimentary materials would include a DVD with it, we would buy all kinds of games in DVDs. DVD almost gave a feeling of storing the data physically somewhere, like you would include a DVD in a photo album that contains videos, photos were developed and put in albums and so were DVDs because you cannot really develop and watch videos.

        DVDs were a part of our culture growing up and as much as I love DVDs, the times are changing and we need to change with it. We need to make peace with the current technology, whatever little it takes from us, it gives 10fold in return. A flash drive takes in that feeling of owning a DVD while providing 10x storage.

        I see kids these days prefer sending files over google drive from one device to another near each other because they are too lazy to care about using wires. Funny how technological advancements have changed how people think.

        I dont really believe streaming services have much to do with DVDs because people will find a way to download and listen to their favourite songs anyways.
