Greater Loss of Gains

The Album to 8-Track to Cassette to CD to Digital Download.

The Film to VHS to Laserdisc to DVD to Digital Download.

The Story Telling to Books to Digital Download.

The Painting to Film to Digital Print.

The Conversation to Letters to Phone Calls to E-Mail to Texting.

Plastics? Not anymore. The future? Is not seen, felt, and will not sit on your shelf for use. The future will get smaller and smaller. Album covers? No more. Movie posters? No more. The back of a book cover? No more. A Kodachrome print? No more. Social interaction? I have hope, but so much doubt. Plastics? No. You got it all wrong Mr. McGuire. The future is not plastics. It's made up of little tiny circuits and wires. So tiny most of us don't even know what they look like, yet they will hold everything. And when I say everything... I'm scared to mean everything.
