I don't see anyone but maybe Sony using discs for their next systems. Nintendo and MS I think are basically done with them.

I've said it many times but your kids will laugh their ass off at you one day when you tell them to play a video game you had to insert a big shiny disc into a shoe-box sized console just to play one game that you had to buy from the store one at a time. 

My kid who is barely 10, has openly expressed her fear of digital only. She loves getting physical movies, music and games. So, you should probably edit that statement to someting like "if you have unintelligent kids, they will laugh their ass off" because anyone witn any with common sense knows that an all streaming/digital world is horiffic for the consumer. 

The more power companies can take from us, the better it will be for them and the worse it will be for us. 

Straight up bullshit, seriously. This has nothing to do with intelligence, you just have twisted it in a way which paints people with different subjective opinion as unintelligent while putting your own child to a pedestal. And for many people it is not even an opinion of "digital is good" but "digital will happen" whether you like it or not. I personally believe the usage of physical discs will be considered "pre-historic" in my lifetime (if I can live a normal life). You should also understand that not everyone weights their life with consumerism, for them there are other things far more important. That does not make them unintelligent but from that perspective, you could not act intelligent, could you?
