Streaming will never stop downloading

muxtape:

“Why would we voluntarily increase our reliance on expensive, scarce wireless bandwidth delivered by abusive thugs when we are awash in cheap, commodity storage that grows cheaper every day and which we can buy from hundreds of manufacturers and thousands of retailers?”

“Hard problems can’t be solved with technical denialism.”

Isn’t it fairly hardcore denialism to suggest our wireless bandwidth won’t get better?

One way or another we will have access to much faster wireless internet speeds. It’s also not going to keep getting more expensive. Sure, we’re going to take it on the chin for the next couple of years… but bandwidth will not be a limiting factor.

  The only difference is you’ll be streaming your downloads from anywhere in the planet. Cloud storage will supplement...

  being a cure for the industry’s woes, substituting streams for downloads wastes bandwidth, reduces privacy

  The denialism comes from thinking that perfect, ubiquitous streaming would stop people from wanting to acquire things...
