I've gotten rid of many boxes of books in the last few years, just as I did with vinyl albums 10 years ago. If there is one constant in mass human behavior, it is info-philia, our movement towards information/stimulation rich environments. Broadband has changed the economics of info-philia and our choices reflect that change.

I hate my CDs, hundreds of them now stuck in boxes and I hate paying for the space they take up. I use Yahoo Music now - $5 per month and I can access almost every CD I own and a gazillion others I don't. I still like my books, but I'm tending more to the large visual "coffee" table type, very high resolution portable media :-) I used to believe that I wanted to touch my stuff, have it around me, and now, I’m getting more and more comfortable getting rid of all that stuff, and visual clutter.
