Apps will continue to update to stay relevant. Nostalgia is what it is. There's an iPad app for Atari now.

I didn't say it there couldn't be a 'digital way of life' culture. I am merely posing the question. Yes I do prefer books, but I also have an e-reader and it definitely has its uses. But personally I prefer books.
Your comment about physical media is perfectly valid, though. Sometimes I think I have waay too much ####.
