And the prospect of having so few personal assets is disconserting.

Disagree. I want to live in a world where my major possessions are my clothes, my laptop, my cellphone, and that's about it. Books? All cut off, scanned in, and PDFs by 1dollarscan.com. CD's? All ripped and stored in S3.

Maybe its just my bent as a tech professional, but I'd rather have the bits than the atoms.

Having the bits is fine as long as you actually have the bits, not a DRMed stream.

Agreed. I strip the DRM off of all my bits. I paid for them, they're mine.
