[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9247634, member: 6684958"] Physical. Digital just does not cut it for real life. Sure if I'm at home, near home, on the grid, have internet access and electricity access....digital is ok. But that is a lot to make digital just ok. Once you leave home, your devices start to run out of power....even more so when you use them. And even when your on the urban grid you can't always find a place to plug in. The same is true of internet access. Books I can toss around and not care much about. I can go to a public place like the pool and just toss it by my chair. Even if someone steals that book I'm only out like the $10 it cost (or more like $2 at Half Priced Books). And the same is true for travel, I don't worry at all about a book I take. But devices have to be kept close and worried about. And there are times that the internet is lost or unavailable. And so so so many things are not even available digitally. And depending where you store it...."They" can always change digital content to make it more politically correct or worse. And you don't get a choice..."your" content gets changed. Just look at software..... And it's already bad enough Goggle hides things they don't like, things the Overlords tell them to hide or most of all things they are paid to hide. And tons of other sites do this too. So store some digital content somewhere....then go to access it and just get a blank screen of "not available". Because they say so. Oh, and them using and selling all that data. Watch one Civil War Documentary....and "suddenly" your adds across the 'net are filled with Civil War Ads. Wow, amazing, how did they know I had an interest in the Civil War....hummm. [/QUOTE]
