I wonder if the days of "digital" content is numbered (from a purely "speculative fiction" point of view) As someone who consumes plenty of science fiction, I could easily imagine a sci-fi story that breaks information down into some epochs... epoch 1, "analog": the incoming signal is the raw representation of the data, like grooves on a vinyl record or AM/FM radio epoch 2, "digital": data is encoded in binary format, and possibly compressed epoch 3 "???": you don't store the data itself, you store a neural network backed function that can reproduce the data in many different ways based on inputs. I.e. you don't store a video of a chair, you store a neural-net that can approximate the chair from any angle with any light source, PLUS you also store a "camera track" that can be used as a pre-defined input to get a preset "video". But at any time, the user can "unlink" the track and operate the "camera" as they choose.
