Perhaps you are not grasping the value of the human physical equation in all of this.
Imagine going to see ancient leather bound volumes from a few 100 years ago, written by monks, kings and queens in their own handwriting.
The glorious colours, the feel of the pages and the leather binding, the smell of the leather/paper/ink.
What a wonderful experience just an item is to behold.
And then just look at a photo if it.
It's nothing. Sure the words are there, and you can read it, but there is no "experience"
Much like how nice a glossy, beautifully made magazine or quality book. The feel, the smell, the experience of it.
A digital copy if just nothing in comparison.
Why would people even bother to go to a museum to see a great work of art ever again? let's just scan them in and dump them.
At the same time, no need for anyone to paint of paper or canvas anymore, lets just all do it in Photoshop.
I'm not saying a device like the iPad is not handy or convenient, but it's a mere worthless shell, a cheap copy of the real thing.
It's going to be a shame if we lose the real things in the future.
Do you just send an email of a Christmas card to your Girl/Boyfriend/family as it's just the same, and looks the same.
Or do you go out and buy them physical cards to give them wished of the season?
Why would anyone buy real cards, when an email version is quicker, cheaper?
Because it's a nicer physical thing, and has a meaningful value.
