The value of the digital equally does not imply a lack of value in the physical.

And, I will assert until I’m dead, the internet has done nothing but broaden my horizons - for the internet is full of quality information and entertainment, beyond what I could ever find in the physical world, if only because without a free or cheap publishing method the information and entertainment would not exist.

Some things are simply not possible with only a “physical economy,” because t physical economy is about things, not ideas.
