I was just reading this article before coming here and I think they're being a little optimistic. I too believe that by the time my son is an adult, you'll be able to turn on your t.v. and select any movie ever made (for a monthly subscription of course). But 5 years? No way. When broadband first hit the scene, they predicted that everyone would have it within 5 years, we're not even close.

I can see a future when our personal storage needs will be gone. From a technology point of view, why do you really need that piece of plastic? Right now you need it because that's the only way to reliably deliver your music, I think that's going to change, but not in 5 years.
