Probably like 2010, 2011 was my last time? It would have been movies for our dvd player in our bedroom when my (now) wife and I were in University.
I got an iPod Nano for my birthday in the fall of 2005, which brought the burning cd factory that was my computer to a screeching halt. I’d still back up files and stuff using CDs, but it went from like going through a carousel of blanks a month to going through a carousel of blanks in like 3 years, within a very short period of time.


I mean death to the streaming companies, but yeah I don’t really miss optical media at all. My truck in high school you’d literally open up the door and CDs would be spilling out all over the damn pavement. They talk about distracted driving with the screens in modern day cars, but let’s actually talk about you flipping through pages and pages in those darn pouch books trying to find the CD you were after, back in the day. Now that was OG distracted driving.
