I love this, and I hate this. I certainly see the value in simplifying, mental and financial, but I don't think it eliminates the value of physical objects. For now, we are still physical beings. I love the benefits of digital media, and I love the simplicity offered by the cloud, but when I'm home, I'm going to crack a book (preferably an old one). I might even put some vinyl on the table. My point is that we don't need to be extremists. We can simplify our lives yet retain our grasp of reality without shunning one or the other. I like to travel, but I also like to garden, which requires all sorts of tools and clothes. I think fluidity is more important than simplicity in our current age.
