Don't hold your breath for discs becoming obsolete anytime soon. Streaming requires a server system of some type; usually with large amounts of media storage. Connection speeds, the quality of the media being streamed, and other factors such as clean power all play a part in the sort of "product" that is delivered. Most streaming is currently delivered to those with DSL or high speed cable modems. That largely leaves out millions of people who simply use a dial up connection. And don't forget about the 40% of the population that has no interest in the internet and don't even have a computer.
Guess these great "predictors" also forgot that people like to enjoy movies and music while traveling and on the road. How do these folks plan to deliver the music of MY CHOICE when I'm driving down the highway???
Bottom line - when it comes to technology - don't believe everything some P.R. weenie says! Enjoy your CDs now - and five years from now.
