MPR: Living in a digital space

John Moe talking to Paul Saffo and [Merlin Mann] from ~02:45 to ~25:00

The wave of digitization is coming as compact discs are tossed out in exchange for iPods, and the Kindle promises to make books obsolete. Midmorning asks what is the role of hard media in our lives, and what will we lose by moving from analog to digital format in our living spaces?

Finally. A chance for me to make a lame Greek Philosophy joke. That public school education just keeps paying for itself, doesn’t it?

I wish I would have had MPR on this morning so I could’ve called in as a hirsute UNIX neck-beard type, expounding on the benefits of technology.
