I'll take permanence over convenience any day. Cassettes from my youth, 8 tracks and vinyl records I've collected as a teenager are permanent. Even if it means bulk. The front seat, back seat and trunk of my car are usually filled with CD's and books.
The bulk is both the problem and the solution.
I know I could download all of those books and CD's to my iPad or Kindle, but what am I losing in those few seconds it takes Amazon's Whispernet to download?
I am losing my connection to others. I lose an artifact from my history. I lose a story. Or I lose the opportunity to create a story and add a little to my history.
