Absolutely... I digitized my CD collection years ago and threw away those useless jewel cases (CDs themselves fit neatly in a couple of Case Logic binders) - I never looked back and am living happily CD-free: good riddance, plastic; I digitized my class notes from school; I digitized all the biz cards, little notes and other specs of paper using the on-board camera of my Macbook Pro and the PhotoBooth app (later on I can run an OCR character recognition program on those biz card images): No more clutter!!! Considering books... I still own a fair bit of books and enjoy them very much, but in the future I could imagine certain more reference type books to be strictly digital. I also enjoy my vinyl records and putting them on a manual old-school record player. But I have digital backups of all vinyl, because they wear down with use. As they say: the future is "high-tech as well as high-touch"
