[ExI] Contemporary jargon

[Jason Resch]

I think in the not to distant future we can have ear phones that can
continuously generate new music on demand to fit our preferences and mood.
Everyone can have their own unique sound track for their lives. Then
distribution doesn't even matter. Who needs Netflix or Amazon streaming
when your set top box can generate endless episodes of your favorite TV
series, or any movie you ask it to create for you, or turn any book into a
miniseries that would take a hundred million dollar budget today?
