I meant as a functional, physical object the record's role as media or data storage device is over (ok, I know there are serious vinyl fans and still a few record shops left). Their future, as a physical artefact, is likely to be decorative. Interestingly, I think Steve Jobs is keen to reinvent the album cover and cover art is a more prominent feature in recent releases of iTunes. BTW, I cleaned that corner of the kitchen specially LOL!

You say the analogue no longer has a role, except as aesthetic (and maybe nostalgic), but isn't it also formative - I mean in that it shapes our expectation of the digital much as the bowl is shaped (and in a way which is similarly 'strange')? I'm also very impressed by the cleanliness and order of your kitchen : ) This made me wonder.
