>Will it all just be on the cloud
yes

Why was Sony even producing betamax up until so recently?

Also, when a technology becomes so old doesn't it enter public domain? That means anyone can still produce it without Sony's permission.

I was puzzled also.

Private non-corporate data storage will be illegal in the future. It's the only way to keep us safe and keep Hollywood payed.

It lasted for a long time for tv news recording. I still used them by 2009

You're right btw.

Would being a political dissident cause you to lose access to pop culture?

Would it cause your game software to work against you making it impossible to level?

To expand a lil more:

VHS won the war because of price and lenght. Beta always had more quality of taping.

So, if you lived in a shit tier 3rd world country such as me and your company wanted to save the money of new digital cameras/digital edition rooms you could still use beta tapes and analogic edition which pleased the >50 year old editors

Also, and this is very important ina TV news scenario; you'll be amazed of how analogic editing can produce a news clip faster than digital
