Cd's to make a come back in the future?


I heard a reviewer John Darko say he thinks cd's will make a come back. Does anyone think so to?
I have no intention of selling/giving away my cd collection now or ever.
Thoughts?

There used to be a member here from Munich, Germany, with five or so Studer open reel decks in perfect condition, and he said he played them all. There was a picture of his listening room - very impressive.
As for cds, first of all it is unknown how long they last. And then - come back probably not but many will keep them even if for the only reason that they own them and they rarely break. With computers you own really nothing let alone this streaming thing. Computers break often, they don't last, back-up hard drives break too. It is all unreliable junk.
2. Sometimes records are just as inexpensive and sometimes they are very expensive
3. Not everything can be found on cds but a lot.
5. No way, totally wrong. Besides, transport is at least as important as dac, some people don't know it.
I could be that nut and I would win, but for the price and much less I will take Otari two track any moment. Top of the line Nakamichi 1000 ZXL in perfect condition costs more that $2395 and 1000 ZXL Limited much more if you can find it. A few Tandbergs are also very expensive. Open reel decks are not for everyone for various reasons but anyone can be in agreement with cassettes. Some people also have high end Nakamichi cassette players in their cars, so they can make analog recording from records and reels, and record from cds too. Great cassette deck is a valuable stuff. I use one at home almost daily.
