Re: Mass extinction?

You are assuming people aren't buying these smart TVs so they can streamline to a single device with no peripherals. Forget Cassette tapes and 8-tracks, we now have an entire generation who asks, "What is a cd? Oh, you mean there actually WAS music before Slacker and iTunes?". With streaming services, DVDs are also becoming obsolete and many titles are no longer being released on that platform and are going strictly to the streaming services. No, this is a problem for the consumer as the consumer is being sold services that will inevitably no longer be supported in a few years.
