I retweeted this last night but it’s worth discussing a bit. Alexander has always been a strong voice against the term ‘digital download’ and after a short email exchange with me yesterday he came to the above conclusion.
As unfortunate as it sounds it does seem like evil has truly won. PR companies seem reluctant to drop the ‘digital’ and because the phrase has been floating around for so long it has gotten to the point where people use it without thinking twice. We have reached the point of no return.
I just hope that every time you see the the phrase ‘digital download’ you stop and mentally cross out the word ‘digital.’ Do it for your own sanity.
