  Really, if all new recorded & digital entertainment stopped being created right now and I was stuck with only things already made, and even if I were born today, I'd easily have a lifetime's worth of material even if I were pretty picky, so the lack of new media, though a bit weird, wouldn't really harm my enjoyment of life that much. There are whole, giant genres of music I've barely listened to, hundreds of highly-regarded films from the last 140ish years I've not seen, more reputedly-excellent written works from the last ~3500 years than I've got time for even if that were my only entertainment. Shit, as far as games go I'm still trying to catch up on top-tier or just-under-top-tier games from the 90s I missed the first time around, and I played quite a few games back then. Now that I have less time, a bunch of excellent-looking games I'd probably love slip by and land on the "to do... someday, maybe" list. Even for a medium that new, I'm overwhelmed with great options.
