To me, I think the most interesting thing he says is that blu-ray is likely to be the last physical media we see. The more you think about it, the more you realize it’s probably true - what is there to do that blu-ray can’t? You’ve got 23 gb of storage space on a single-layer, and 46 gb on a double-layer disc. How much more would you really need, and if it is necessary, couldn’t you just use another disc?

We invented cassette tapes, CDs, DVDs, and then blu-ray because there were things we couldn’t do with the old formats. If you can come up with something a blu-ray disc CAN’T do, a physical limitation of the format that could only be solved by one last hurrah for physical media, I would genuinely like to know.
