There is an odd nostalgic feeling with physical media, but it's definitly better having everything digital, as long as it's a file I have on my own server and is backed up. I'm not a fan of anything that can easily be taken away, such as cloud based stuff or proprietary formats.
I went through a minimalistic phase & digitized everything I owned ten or fifteen years ago. Books, photos, music, movies, you name it! It's definitely a lot more convenient because I have a laptop, tablet, smartphone, and HTPC, so I can access 100% of my stuff on any device anywhere in the world. But I do miss the physicality of hardware & the experiences associated with that, like renting a 2-day movie from Blockbuster & watching it no matter
how dumb it was haha!
I still continue to do this, but things have changed a bit. I have a scanner that I use to scan & shred my mail into PDF format every day, no physical paperwork is kept & I have a copy on my computer & backed up to my Google Drive online. I found that I prefer to read paper books, especially fiction novels, because I really like being able to flip back & forth, I like the smell, and I like having the physical thickness of paper to hold in my hands. I still like paper for notes, but I've mostly switched to using an iPad Pro with an Apple Pen because the resolution is good enough for doing endless digital notes.
Modern life is convenient, but unfulfilling in some ways. Plus such a large amount of it requires financial stability. For example, between Uber Food delivery & Amazon Prime, you can have anything you want to eat or anything you want to buy hand-delivered to your house same-day or within a few days like magic, assuming you have the budget for it. Both of these videos crack me up:
