[NewMusic] acoustic vs. electronic

[Barry Threw]

It's true.  Note that I didn't say "were a fetish item"  I said "are 
becoming".  Which is true.  They are terribly inconvenient. They take up 
a lot of room, and are completely un-mutable.  As soon as there is a 
cheap hand held storage device that has the legibility of paper and can 
hold lots of information, the book will be obsolete.

Another note:  Just because you are familiar with, or even enjoy using, 
a technology; or even if it has some advantages over the current 
iteration, does not mean that the old technology is not heading toward 
obsolescence.   There hasn't been a single technology in the history of 
the world that this has not happened to, its pretty silly to think that 
the current generation of technologies will be any different just 
because we happen to not have the perspective of time frame to see them 
progress.
