Regarding music CDs, I haven't bought a music CD for many years, how would a CD fit into my tiny comfortable MP3 player? (yes, ridiculous question in case that weird dude wants to intervene)

And of course all other media has ended it's lives. Blu-Ray is no different. You're just spreading FUD about our further digital processing and ever growing connectivity.

You misunderstand almost everything stated, yes online services will advance further and there will be much progress with regard toconnectivity over the years to come. Why would one state the obvious (unless there's some kind of global disaster looming)?

However your timing is way off (back in the 50s they imagined people having their personal spaceships by the year 2000, of course that was too optimistic ), likewise you're too absolute, something ideal for someone may be a hassle for someone else.

Blu-Ray will not be killed this upcoming decade, not by internet advances, nor by a yet unreleased unproven new media format. Blu-Ray for mass storage is advancing as well. Some think current technology is already designed for 1TB discs:

The global industry is fully backing Blu-Ray disc.
