What I mean is: You can type an entire novel on a computer, and oopsie a random cosmic bitflip and system crashes and now its all gone. Or you do a lot of filming and the digital file can get corrupted. Where as stuff like, a typewriter, it’s less likely to just be all gone due to some malfunctions. Same with film, a cosmic bitflip can’t delete all your footage.
Know what I’m sayin’?
Oh buddy, this is basically my worldview.
I have shelves of vhs tapes and dvds. Almost every common game console since 1975 and the games. 200 records, around 50 reel to reel tape, 250+ cds. I am all about real and authentic. Especially since today everything has been cheapened, strip mined, and sold for parts.
If its not physical, you dont own it (hard drives full of stuff counts too of course but its not quite the same).
