What's going on with the audio market?

As far as the future goes, things like quantum entanglement(which they are learning that more than photons and spin can be quantum entangled) leave us hope. I think we(as ordinary citizens) need to come up with stuff, as the powers-that-be would be busy trying to figure out how to make money from it.   For instance, I've found that energy and (some parts) of weather(this last one is a possible recent discovery by me) can be transferred also.  We just have a lack of imagination, and a lot of 20th century thinking, dominating much of what we call science.

I believe digital, as good as it is, plays a part in music not being as important in people's lives.  While you can sit back and say that sounds fantastic(an intellectual reaction), it still doesn't quite bring about the relaxation that analog can.  In other words, the need to listen to music for what it can give you in this area, has diminished(i.e.,it's no longer as relaxing).

I used to need audio to relax and refresh.  I have discovered something else that does a better job of this, so I don't "need" it.  In addition, this something else also works when I sleep.  I wake up totally refreshed(at age 64).  If I do something now, my time and money are better spent on this "something else".
