I think you may be a little off on that comment. In 20 years CD will probably have been replaced by something smaller that holds more info and then go the way of vinyl (or 10" floppy disks. Show either one on to one of today's youth and see what kind of looks you get).

Yeah, the nostalgia will be a little different, but it will still be nostalgia.
