The idea of a tangible source in our modern day and age is a very interesting idea. I enjoy purchasing cds for the very idea that I get to hold it in my hands. Why, I'm not sure. Older generations act in very similar ways. Is it because they prefer the tangible aspect of a newspaper, or is it because they grew up without technologic advances, unlike us. We have been bombarded with computers and the internets from a very young age. Perhaps we haven't had the choice of whether or not we really want to choose from a newspaper or an internet source. It has become more of a habit because of how we interact day to day. Instead of writing letters, we write emails. This is sort of a metaphor for the way people nowadays go on the internet rather than read the newspaper. Although I like to hold my cds, I must admit, I too have bought them off itunes. With that said; today's ways have changed from tangible to techological. There still are those who have preferences regardless of technology. However, today's culture has begun to subconciously choose technology over other tangibles.
