The problem with streaming — and the case for physical media | Tom Rizzuto

from TED Talks Daily

Streaming media gives us access to everything instantly, but at what cost? Music professor Tom Rizzuto traces the history of physical media — from CDs and vinyl to bone music (Soviet-era records pressed onto discarded X-rays) and the near-loss of "Nosferatu" — making the case that art shouldn't just live in the cloud. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
