Have you ever imagined how digit magazine will be improved by the time of 2020? i just thought for entire day (today) and imagined how digit will be. It all started wit 1 CD and now its DL-DVD and CD. . . Just imagine for while what digit will be giving in 2020 and start telling what you think. :D
Let me start:
a Blu Ray Disc and DL-DVD with a price tag of 500 Rs/month :D

In 2020 broadband connection is too cheap

By 2020 Broadband will be free ..trust me...
And The connection will be around min 5 mbps atleast.
All CD\DVD Contents will be hosted on line via site...
And this will open a new gallery. Unlike the Fixed CD\DVD format the contents will be dynamic almost changing every day.
And magazine i believe will be weekly ..
Raboo will be older by 12 years..
Nimesh will be thin..finally..
And we will still be posting crap messeges..! :D

In 2020...

Digit will provide Red-Ray Discs (Discs that can hold 250 GBs of data, name could be anything though.)
Our connections will be faster but I believe that the size of downloadable content will increase too. Remeber HD Videos.... There will be super HD videos... So they will still be out of our reach. (1 hour of Super HD Video = 60 Gb). How are u forgetting that as storage technology eveloves and as internet speed increase the size of contents also increase.

So in my Opinion The Ad for Digit will be like this :

Code:
 DIGIT Anniversery Issue 2020. 
Now with 2 Ultra Capacities Red-Ray Discs.
With 100 GBs of Super HD-Tech Videos.
Exclusive review of MS's new OS Windows V-Live which has inbuilt AI.
Cover Story : 1000 Super Computers sold in one month in India.
Digit Team : Robert Smith (Chief Editor)
                 Nitiesh (Copy Editor)
                 Ashwin Saxena (Proud Writer of Digit :D:D:D)
Cost : 300 UNI (A new universal currency of that time) (1 UNI = 400 INR of today. Mehangai badhegi yaaron :D:D).

^^^ quiz master ......... blu-ray disks are called so because the laser used in the drives are blue in colour(less wavelength) ...... and the normal disks use RED laser today .. so RED RAY DVDs are being used today .....

as for 2020 ... forget bout optical disks .... at that time holographic storage may come into existance ...or HMR technique .....hope watever it be .. justit should be in reach of normal ppl like us....:D

COME ON PPL... at tht time we will be having (internally installed in our body) some high end hardware... and DIGIT will telecast all the contents not by snail mail but by electromagnetic transmission which the hardware in our body will automatically absorb .... and we our self be a computer...inbuilt into us and we will download regular updates just by sittin in front of an HDTV (though HDTV wud be a very old thing then)... no need of dual layers and cds and dvds... everything will be stored in our body-cum-computer system only which is of hundreds of terabytes...

Seems too farfetched to me.
This will take 2040 I think.

if digit continues its current trend...i dont think it will extend its leg to 2020

hard to say..

have to improve in article quality and content..

but i think contens and all wont be a matter as we are expecting ONLINE OPERATING SYSTEM which will have access to all latest software and news videos automatically...

i think digit future is based on how it evolves...like say online PDF to its users... and online(website) access to info for the registered users..

things like that..

but current trend ..let me say something.. in my lib they have stopped subscription of digit stating below standard articles..

but still continue other mags in my lib..

DIGIT WAKE UP OR ELSE NO 2020 FOR U!!!

WE know u thought us everything ... u thought us wht and how stuffs work..but now where is ur talent?? wht happened... bring up again./..

REDUCE IN ADS AND INCREASE IN QUALITY ARTICLES>....

WE ALL HATE ADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well i hope digit will be on iptv and ma launch a tv channel and end up in blu rays! God knows if they turn out to bring flash drives or memmory cards instead of cds ! :D But i hope that the price is not more than 500/- and they would be international and will take over some Share Market Stuff!
Agent 002?
Nah it would be a multiple personality and it wont be !
2020? eh! let us see that WE WILL LIVE TILL 2010 !!!
