My biggest issue with all digital is that it makes discovery more difficult.

I recall as a child seeing books of my relatives and family friends and having my imagination sparked by them. Or just flipping through a book, not being able to read or understand it, but just looking at the pictures.

I've gone so far as to buy some coffee table books and visual dictionary books and atlases for my son just to spark that same feeling of discovery.

I think we are going to lose something important there when everything is in a digital playlist locked up into a proprietary platform that may not be around for more that a dozen years or so.

I know that my comments are more specific to books, but this also applies I think to music, and art, any visual medium.
