Was glad to see the CD get dematerialized into MP3s (never liked those things), but the great loss of any tangible artifact--nevermind the loss of "the album"--was still a heartbreaker. Alice Wang proposes Audiosticks, a wry commentary on what the embodiment of music might be. There's a nice sentence in here:
Since the arrival of digital music, we've gotten used to exchanging music with strangers instead of our friends. Cultures like mix tapes have disappeared as soon as mass music storage/players came along....

That whole concept ignores the rise of iTunes and P2P networks. .. tangibility is so 20th century.
sure tangibility is a 20th century concept...but why do people still pay to print out physical photographs when they can look at them on portable devices? or are those people all grandmas?
