Impulsiveness

At the moment I'm feeling very adverse to electronics and electronic media; the possibility of hard drive failure prompted me in this direction. MP3s, CDs, DVDs... if their use is not sustainable and unlikely to continue past the next century (half-century?) then why not give them up now, if it is possible to do so? If electronic entertainment is a distraction from misery then wouldn't that be enough for one to give it up?
