No Disc Changing… or Clutter
Don’t act like you’ve not sighed heavily at the thought of getting out of your comfy chair because you’ve got to switch your Call of Duty disc for Madden. Having to change discs during a marathon session with your friends is one of those small inconveniences we’d just be better off without. And we can be without it.
Those who have already wholeheartedly embraced the digital-only future will tell you with a smug look on their face about the convenience of quickly switching games on the fly from the comfort of the aforementioned seat. It sounds dumb. It kinda is dumb, but when it comes to changing that disc again, we all know you’ll sigh again.
Aside from helping us to avoid exercise at all costs, the digital future also has the whole ‘no clutter’ thing going for it. While some out there love to have massive physical libraries to gawk at from time to time, having tons of vivid green or blue boxes can cause a bit of unnecessary clutter, not to mention the fact that all that plastic isn’t great for the environment (or our dwindling oil resources). Is it going to change the world on its own? Probably not, but it’s a step in the right direction all the same.
