@tedtoks: Streaming gives big media companies far too much power to “turn off” important art whenever they want to, says professor Tom Rizzuto. In his TED Talk, he makes the case for going analog and bringing back physical media — from CDs to DVDs to VHS and cassettes and more — to give the power back to consumers and preserve historical media in a way we’ve been doing for generations.

Tyler :

started buying cd’s when Spotify kept raising their prices

Samantha M :

Content can be changed when it's digital. Physical copies are tougher to change.

Leanne :

Phones killed the good vibe. Like tv killed the radio stars.

Nickels Is Money Too :

They just want to be able to charge you multiple times for the same piece of media.

Jedi Knight Borick :

hell when cassette and vhs become vintage retro.

🌈📚Chloe Thee Monster✨ :

I like owning physical media because they do in fact change movies. for instance, in Underworld, Sonia in the original movie was played by some blonde actress and in the newer version —they have a third movie, they replaced that actress with the one in the third movie on streaming.

DawnsOnIt :

Also good to have hard copies in a digitally controlled world.

This is what I have been doing, I got an AMC A List membership, and I go to thrift stores and buy dvds, books and cds, vinyls. And when a movie comes out that I love I buy the dvd.

We need physical media, and it should be the shape and size of a minidisc.

As a Gen Z who has always collected physical media all my life, I seriously agree with this. DIGITAL WILL NEVER TAKE THE CROWN.
