I
f you know me, you know that I love physical objects when it comes to technology, especially media. I love CD's(especially for music), flash drives, external hard drives and such. I don't understand this big iTunes thing, this whole digital media deal. Personally, I like proof that I own an album and besides, it's nice to have the options to be able to put in your car, and the CD case to display on the wall, or the booklet with the lyrics! The whole thing is cool!
First it was iTunes and now this thing called The Cloud. While this is a cool idea, it still takes away from the physicality that a CD(or something similar) gives. But...some things are almost necessary, as technology gets more advanced, people want things to be easier and faster, so, they get it. Good? Bad? Hard to tell. It is certainly easier to do some things.
Well, paper and ink are supposedly on their way out, but I'll always use that in my life, even if they get rid of it in my lifetime. I'll make my own! Haha, anyway, I just thought I'd vent a little. And 'venting', writing down your ideas and such really helps you see what you really think about a subject.
UPDATE! So, roughly 3 years later, I have definitely changed my tune. Cloud storage all the way! I am still a huge fan of local storage, but it is SO NICE to have everything accessible through Google Drive on any phone I end up upgrading to. Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, and many others work wonderfully for storing photos, videos, movies, documents, and many other important digital items. Huge fan these days. It saves so much time.
PS...In reference to music, I've gotten over myself. CDs take up so much space and to have everything accessible on a phone is simply magical.
Best wishes!
