Most things in life are not rocket science. It doesn’t take a mystic to realize that the CD and DVD is doomed. Maybe not this year – maybe not next – but it will happen.
The studios stopped making VHS tapes last year and it is only a matter of time when their little disc brothers get the snub. The Internet will carry the future of entertainment distribution.
Some disagree with this. Mark Cuban (Owner of 2929 entertainment and the Dallas Mavericks) argues that bandwidth will be a problem. But look at how many people said that broadband penetration would be a long time coming and now we are over 50 percent.
So I think the Internet will continue to move forward at a faster rate than we can predict. The question is – as media creators – will we be ready to harness its power?
