Or if you prefer not to read it...
A professor of music at Stanford likes to test his incoming students every year on sound quality. He tests them to choose between lower-quality MP3's vs. higher quality recordings. Much to his shock, each year more and more of his students prefer the sound of the low-quality MP3's to higher quality sound.

This may be proof that our civilization is doomed.
