CDs
I noticed something interesting in barnes and noble today. their CD collection was very diverse but the shelves seemed empty. They only keep 1 or 2 copies of most albums on hand. I imagine this has something to do with everyone stealing their music from the internet or buying digital copies of files over iTunes or similar media sharing network. I tried to imagine the last time I bought a physical CD in a store. In all honesty I have no idea when that was or how anyone could justify selling physical CDs anymore. I imagine selling CDs will go in the same direction that payphones have gone and DVDs may not be far behind.
