Hmm... I knew it was coming, but didn't think it would come this soon. I think I'm one of the few people left who still buys CD's.

I am a bit surprised at the statistics with vinyl as well. I didn't know that it was growing that much in popularity. One of the links says that there was a 53% increase in vinyl sales in 2016.

50% of Teens Feel Addicted to Their Phones, Poll Says

Nearly 80% of teens in the new survey said they checked their phones hourly, and 72% said they felt the need to immediately respond to texts and social networking messages. Thirty-six percent of parents said they argued with their child daily about device use, and 77% of parents feel their children get distracted by their devices and don't pay attention when they are together at least a few times per week.

For their entire lives from adolescence onward, everyone having a smart phone will have been the norm - and all that they have ever known. I for one am glad that I am not growing up in that generation.

This would further developments in artificial intelligence and other fields, but could also have major drawbacks as well.
