Making Change

Once again, yet another person has added fuel to the raging fire that is trivial research. I really hope I'm wrong and some scientist finds a way to feed the world's hungry by applying the time saved by using the eighteen cent piece towards crop production. I know! We'll all save a little energy handling less change, therefore we will consume less resources... "Reduce dependency on foreign oil: use the eighteen cent coin!"
I can see it coming to the point where content producers lean on hardware manafacturers to not include inputs. It certainly would solve a lot of problems.
Perhaps that could happen in the tiwsted minds of some mass-marketed sound cards or those sad little on-board integrated audio motherboards. Products with analog inputs will continue to exist as long as there are people recording their own music, whether they be the tapers at the Phish concert, composers in their basements trying to be the next Moby, semi-pros making a disc for the family of a 6-year-old's first piano recital or full-blown studio pros with their big old 24/96 rigs.
Remember, until the day comes when a data stream can be downloaded directly into our brains ("I know Kung Fu"), all music has to be analog some time or another.
