Quote - Today, all that physicality is gone. Owning one piece of music isn't any different than another.

This is something I found refreshing about Anomaly, which I got a copy of recently. It's exploring ways in which physicality and virtual, digital media can intermingle...

I think you mention something else that must not be lost, or, I think humanity may be doomed...

...smell... and real smells, of real world things. Artifactual smells. Not just fake, perfumery...

Sadly though, it seems the sense of smell is something else that does diminish with age. At least for me... and is not simply being diminished culturally.

I guess this is true of all the physical senses, ultimately, though... as we bury our way through time, like interstellar earthworms, back towards that singularity from whence we came ;)
