Big Ideas # 15

I'm surprised it took this long. Here's a prediction - CD's aren't too far behind. With so much of the distribution of music going to digital, I would suspect that in 5 years, CD's will be obsolete. I wonder why the record companies haven't gone to selling USB drives with music on them. 1GB flash drives are only about $15.00 now and that's more than enough to hold a whole CD encrypted at CD quality. You would have about 400mb or so to put promo material on. I'll bet that you could get them for half that (or less) in bulk. Oh, crap. Some record company exec will read this and steal my idea. Well for whatever it's worth that's my big idea today.
