BD/HD-DVD... the final (hard media) frontier

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Those will be the last hard media formats... video on demand is going to take hold. Some company is going to release an HD ipod like device for storing HD movies, and it's all over.

Many will resist it, because they like the feel of hard media. But it'll just be a matter of time before they'll feel like dinaosuars still clutching their 45s, and give in.

Granted, this wont happen for another 5 years... and it'll take another 5 before it's common place. But it's happening already.

There are already plans to make existing use of you electrical outlets as the next broadband... it's more than 16x faster than DSL. Yes, your electircal outlet. (http://www.govtech.net/magazine/sup_...2&issue=4:2006)

Super fast internet already exists. We're talking 40 Gbps! Already developed, just not deployed yet because of the internet tech stocks crash. But it's out there and waiting.

Humans as a species enjoy collecting things.

Listening to Colt go on about this sounds a lot like those guys at the World Fairs saying we'd all be living on the moon by 2001.

True. I still buy movies on VHS, even when I know I'll probably only watch them once, because I like the way they look as a collection. No one has ever looked at a hard drive full of obscure movies in awe.

Humans value convenience above all else.

I remember seeing a report on internet via power lines on Beyond 2000 (remember that show?) like 10 years ago (maybe even more), but it was only in Canada at the time. Amazing that it's taken so long to get here.
