    The Smartphone Age and the Death of Offline Life

    good. Because the wireless ones dump radiation into your brain. I recently tested my portable CD player from 2005 and it still works, although it eats batteries. Also @Hitcore those empty shelves on your desk look to be the perfect size and shape to store a bunch of audio CDs.

    Physical media of all kinds

    oh okay, thanks. I miss obvious clues like that, or maybe small sarcasm tells differ across the pond (funny phrase, that) Back on topic: A few years ago I bought some old Lego games on CD-ROM for myself to play on my old Windows 98 computer.

    The BBC can't compete with YouTube, so why not just use underhand tactics to win?

    I think they might already do it in the US for Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc.

    Why we spend more at self service touch screens

    Less friction at the point of sale, sure, but I feel like that is a distraction from the real reason: replacing labor (the biggest expense for companies, even at minimum wage) with machines. Same logic behind self checkout. How much are the staff really judging you for extra fries? I think they...
