Humans are wired for deep connection. So what happens when devices disrupt that? #TEDTalks
Humans aren’t just social — we’re ultrasocial, wired like bees and ants for deep connection. So what happens when smartphones take over childhood, tablets replace textbooks and AI companies infiltrate our kids’ lives? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out three principles of technoskepticism — and explains why, two years after sounding the alarm in “The…

It’s not just about the collection; it’s about the memories and pure nostalgia.
Console companies don’t want us to buy physical discs because, for example, if my cousin visits, he often trades his used game for one from my collection that he’s never played. When this happens, there’s no need to buy a new game, and that cuts into the profits for these companies. They want to stop that because sharing physical discs across multiple consoles hurts their revenue.
But these discs create connections. They bring friends together—people who care for each other, real pals. On the other hand, digital games encourage selfishness, arrogance, and greed, as they can’t be shared or traded. If you own a digital game, you can’t even use it on multiple accounts without buying it again for each one.
That’s why I prefer discs. There’s a deeper meaning behind collecting them. Plus, companies can’t pull business tricks with physical copies, like removing digital games from stores without refunds. With physical discs, even if a game is no longer available digitally, you can still play it.
There are pros and cons, but I choose physical discs. They come with cover art, booklets, and extras that we used to enjoy just as much as the game itself. Unfortunately, people who have only ever played digital games don’t understand that. They’ve never experienced the joy of physical copies, so they can’t compare. To them, digital games seem perfect because they don’t know what they’re missing.
The shift to digital gaming is happening slowly, one step at a time, so people don’t notice or push back against the companies. Pretty sneaky, right?
I hope this makes sense to you.

I will also say that the Xbox controller has always sucked especially now. The fact you need batteries to run the controller is wild and they should just allow you to plug and play
