It's possibly just the nostalgia talking here, mind you.

I guess the idea of a possible future where we own nothing but one super do-it-all device is kinda scary for me. Yea, that would be amazing if I were to go backpacking again for a few months, but when I'm living in one place, I want to be able to show off my books/dvds/cds in my home. Makes me feel more at home I suppose.
