the paradox is that as more things come within our purview, our wants get richer, so the music that once you would have had to scour record shops for, suddenly becomes available within not much more time than it takes for you to remember listening to it twenty years ago. And then you can buy it off iTunes, or some other weird mechanism. Your wants enlarge more quickly than the cost of them decreases, and your paycheck is under pressure.
Prince is obviously right on the broader fashion point, anyway - the internet must be over, because it is ubiquitous. It is a fantastic challenge to all those Wired people, like Kevin Kelly. If they were ever right that change alone is unchanging, (c. Heraclitus) then surely it applies to the boring technology that we have been carrying for the last twenty years.
