Kids already look at these the same way we caught the tail end of floppy disks...Discs are basically glorified film reel...the best of the archaic. Like a chrome rock.
How does it feel to witness the present become the past quicker than our forefathers?

Baby's first obsolescence? Plenty of us here saw the birth and death of a slew of technologies from Cd's, to Vhs, to the sony walkman and even records. We remember a world without Google, without smart phones or even mobile phones at all, some of us even witnessed the birth of Sup Forums.
Nolan Bailey
I really don't give a fuck. CD's are shit, and I used to burn a new one all the time. I'm happy mp3's came out. I'm happy I can just use a cellphone instead of that God damn Discman, and my Walkman before that. Keep up with the times.
Adrian Cox
Oh, and just to reiterate.
Fuck the past. Always look forward.
William Perez
And their kids will look at smart phones like crazy junk from the past too.
>How does it feel to witness the present become the past quicker than our forefathers? Feels good man. That's just how technology works.
Julian Thompson
And before you say Hurp derp you so old the tech has moved on, Who do you think 'made' the stuff you 'use'. It's like when some teen say's, 'Hurp we use apps now', I'm pretty sure snapchat wasn't coded by a bunch of 12 year olds, that shit came from my generation profiting from your dumb ass.

8 tracks are still cool because it's all good stuff, no minaj or beiber.

As of right now, discs are still superior to streaming in terms of quality and content.
Jose King
Dat how it feels OP.
Ian Powell
My car has a 6 CD changer but no aux/usb plug or cassette deck, so they're defintely still useful to me
Elijah Watson
fucking lame, i wouldn't be admitting to making that shit
Asher Adams
This is now a trap thread.
Nicholas Wright
lol, you must have really shitty internet to think that. You do realize you can stream in hd as well as 4k right?
Ian Richardson
imma plug my phone in an aux cassette converter and insert it into an 8 track converter so i can listen to spotify on my 8 track player

What if forward is a guaranteed full on Muslim Invasion and what's left of white people will enslaved? What f it's the very same white people that gave away their lands to the more masculine Muslims who enslaves them? What if I told you that if things keep going the way they are that that's exactly what's going to happen? How does that make you feel and do MP3 players fix this? It's already started, the emasculation of western males is well underway. One only needs to look to history to know that all great civilizations fell soon after the the emasculation of it's men and the societies general acceptance of this at large.
Wake up.

The time of the quickening. The forever increasing rate in new technology and new discoveries will one day happen at a pace so fast, that if we're still around to witness it, it will take our merging with technology to adapt to it.
A slice of time from the human historic experience always looks different. Where as wasps birds and beavers have been making their same nests and environments for millennia. Any slice of time of the human experience looks very different. We are the main event of nature and we are about to transcend ourselves.

>How does it feel to witness the present become the past quicker than our forefathers? No big deal. What you're talking about is called Moore's Law. I witnessed the obsolescence and revitalization of LP's, the end of the cassette, the 8Track, VHS, dot-matrix printers, rotary telephones, the end of tube stereos. And even more modern stuff, like SD cards, which are now miniaturized. Tube televisions to flat screens, about a hundred game systems, the advent of GPS - which some people still do not use, bluetooth connectivity, and even battery technology (LiON batts) that are still evolving. When you quit trying to evolve with technology, you become officially old.

>we Nigga, the first game I ever bought was on floppy. I grew up playing Venture on the ColecoVision. If I wanted more games I went to an arcade.
I'm not even old. Just keep up.
Ryder Mitchell
explain
Nathan King
I assume he means that console exclusives are bought to keep the console market profitable, because otherwise PC beats them out in every field
This + ease of use keep consoles values inflated.
Lincoln Robinson
This It's crazy when you start thinking about it, kids nowadays running around with tablets,smartphones... and comparing that with just 25y ago
Christopher Powell
Vinyl is the objective best.
Robert Ortiz
My great grandmother was born before before powered flight by humans and before electricity, cars, broadcast radio, and even indoor plumbing in much of the US, were common. And she lived long enough to read about animals being cloned and this new internet thing taking the world by storm.
While in many ways technology and science advances are accelerating, what has the average person seen in the past 20 years? Smart phones? The rise of the surveillance economy? Slimmer laptops? Dumbass shit like 3D TV or VR googles?
At the moment and for quite a while, it seems we're past the point of diminishing returns. No doubt this will change at some, but how? Robot cars? A.I. that reminds you to buy toilet paper?
Jose Butler
Not really an exact argument, consoles have some value besides gaming. You can use them as portals to use your bigscreen for some cool shit, if it isn't a "smart TV".
Evan Cook
Hey men listen to Ta Ha she's the ultimate bae
Mason Garcia

Thomas Reyes
If you like the distortion, hiss and pops and clicks of vinyl, you should record this objectively 'worse' sound (which you very well may like better) into a digital format.
No one have ever - EVER - been able to tell the difference between vinyl and a quality digital recording of vinyl - in a properly done listening test.
Jonathan Torres
At what point are our lives easy enough? Great question. I hope humanity either finds a greater purpose or goes extinct before we have to answer for a diminishing sentiment such as that.
Brayden Jones
Yeah, I use that shit all the time. Right up there with the light bulb for most people.

>At the moment and for quite a while, it seems we're past the point of diminishing returns. No doubt this will change at some, but how? Robot cars? A.I. that reminds you to buy toilet paper? Innovation comes in weird ways. We're at the point where we can control basically the whole house with smartphone, voice commands. I think the biggest innovation most recently was 3D printing. Sony is developing contact lens screens that take pictures and you ccan see shit like Predator. You'll be able to surf the net and watch movies by closing your eyes. They can put sensors on your head and watch your thoughts visually, which is pretty neat. Quantum computing will soon be able to answer theoretical questions and tell us how to solve complex problems, like designer drug therapies and how to arrange molecules for eco-friendly fuels and print organs with 3D printers from stem cells. Its an interesting time to be alive.

first time I saw a home computer was my uncles commodore 64 in 1988 , we got our Pentium 100Mhz in 1995 , got internet in 1998 at home , I have been on Sup Forums since January 2004
Camden Nelson
And once you dl a thousand movies, where do you keep them all? Don't tell me everyone is now buying multiple hard drives and just replacing them when they get full.
Xavier Miller
A demand for a home entertainment system is a ploy ?
Buddy , we had PC's that played more powerful games than consoles in the 1990s , what the fuck are you on about ?
Luke Nelson
I didn't arrive on the tail end of floppies, I used to trade nes and snes roms with them, even spanned the bigger ones on multiple disks with winzip. It sucked, those floppy shits were amazingly unreliable also 1.44mb is pathetic.
CDs were better but in tropical climates they rot very fast for some reason. USB keys are tough, I even washed one and fell in the lake with another and they still work.
Having nostalgia for that is like having nostalgia for the days when you had to get water from a well with a bucket and if you wanted a warm bath you'd have to hear the water on the stove.
Matthew Edwards
3D printing is a way to make plastic prototypes and the odd useful item - hardly a replacement for a machine shop.
No one gives a fuck about turning their lights on or flushing their toilet with their phone. People don't want voice commands when they can have a high tech switch on the wall.
Quantum computing may be a real thing someday, but the technical approaches common today seem to me to be a dead end.
Molecular level 3D printing? That would be interesting if it ever happens in a practical way, but we'll never get a practical amount of fuel from such it.
Definitely an interesting time to be alive. No doubt it may be just around the corner, but I don't see what will be the next penicillin-level paradigm change will be.
James Cooper
clapper sound light system has existed for over 30 years.
Daniel Lee
Being a somewhat successful independent musician, I like it. Income from downloads/streaming is completely passive, so I get paid to sit on my ass and play games instead of having to haul with a load of CD's every day.
Christian Myers
This is not an argument, but a discussion, okay?
First, 3D printing is not meant to replace a machine shop, but the prototype thing saves millions of man hours. This will simplify start-up concepts for small businesses, which obviously helps bring small start-ups into reality and levels the playing field from big-business - much like computers helped small businesses flourish by eliminating book-keepers and secretaries tasks. Now the business owner can be his own product designer.
People do care about remote monitoring of their house, as well as voice commands. Its not a fad. The key to that will be faster processors and microphone sensitivity. When you can just mumble "TV on, channel four" and it doesn't fuck up, it will be as revolutionary as the remote control. Would you buy a TV that doesn'tcome with a remote control? Neither would I.
Molecular level 3D printing is already here, conceptually. The physical tech is not the issue, but the jetting of reservoirs of periodic elements to make the molecules accurately. Thats the problem.
Moore's law dictates quantum computing is inevitable.
