If we told our ancestors from 100 years ago that many many products (especially those in the information/entertainment industry) would be made free, perfect, instantaneous, and easily accessible, they’d probably laugh and tell us to stop dreaming.
With the advancement of dynamic digital data storage solutions, it has become so much easier to record and share media. Take photography as an example. Before the invention of digital cameras, each and every photo had to be burned onto a physical piece of film. A roll of film that costs about the same as a standard 8 or 16GB SD card could only store less than 1% of the photos that that SD card could, not to mention that it can only be used once. Today, we literally just hold down the shutter and take 100 photos of the same thing just so we can choose the “best” looking one. Life must be hard before digitalization became a thing.
