What a dumbass article. It's way too easy right now to burn a CD, we need another 25 years before were nostalgic about this one.

    I think the majority of people at this point don't have a computer with a CD / DVD burner anymore. And at least over here the supermarket also does not sell blank CDs / DVDs anymore.

    Most people would have to go out of their way to acquire the means to burn their own CDs

    I disagree. Find a prebuilt PC that ships with a drive. Extremely rare unless you custom order it.

    On my desk sits a usb CD/DVD writer. Majority of my non tech friends might have an old bluray or DVD player laying aroung or a PS3/4.

    With your statement, you can say floppies are too easy to burn since you can buy a usb writer and a stack on amazon.
