If the meaning of life (per George Carlin) is "finding a place for your stuff,” then technology is looking to make life meaningless.
Our dearest collections of yesterday -- everything from books to CDs -- will soon disappear into the digital abyss, and pretty soon we won't have any stuff at all.
It wasn't long ago that we kept collections -- okay, shoeboxes full -- of photographs. But when was the last time you even bothered to print a photo, never mind develop a roll? Most of us long ago relinquished those little keepsakes. The images now only exist in digital form on our iPhones or posted to Facebook for comments.

Re: Is Technology Killing All Our Stuff?
I have a small collection of old books and plan on expanding it with the classics. Maybe I am just a little old fashioned, but I prefer to read real books, magazines, and new papers over the digital kind. Granted I do read a lot of digital stuff too.
