If the compact disc age is gone...

2012 Ford Focus interior


Now what if in the future, in car entertainment systems will not have CD Players and most of them has all-digital in car entertainment systems from USB, Bluetooth, auxiliary inputs for MP3 devices, and taking advantages of cloud computing services. Just ask Ford Europe, they ditched the CD changer options on the Euro-spec Ford Focus Mk. 3 since sales of CD were dropping and digital downloads are very high in demand.

Ford's global trends and futuring manager, Sheryl Connelly, said that in-car entertainment technology is moving digital faster than any kinds of the vehicle experience and the in-car CD player is about to be obsolete like pay telephones.

If her statements were true, imagine if other car companies like Toyota, Nissan, Honda, General Motors, or even Hyundai Motor Group, would follow suit as well. If that happened, I would better go yell to a bunch of Conyo Drivers (nope, not that Wow Mali prank) and Mindless Masters (nope, not that one from Lokomoko when they did Battle of the Brainless). I mean what would exactly happened? This is getting fudge-ing serious. What the fudge? If a country like Japan rely on CD and pretty soon car companies would offer all-digital in car entertainment minus the CD players, what would they get? Fudge-ing disorder. 

Global trends might come with global disorders, if that idea from Ford Europe become a worldwide reality, what would you know? They'll spiraling out of control saying what happened to the beloved CD players? We're getting annoyed. If those anime otakus heard of that, where can they find some anime songs (openings, closings, original soundtracks, character songs, insert songs) if they're not going to place them on the CD players? If you were living in a foreign country and the anime song you're looking for is available only in Japanese iTunes but not in your iTunes, what would you expect? Well, sorry, enough's enough. Ford Europe's idea made them out of fudge-ing order. They're having disorders. They're not acting like a bunch of "Conyo Drivers" and "Mindless Masters" on the road.

I'm getting angry on that article I saw. If that trick from Ford Europe comes true and applied worldwide from other car manufacturers, swear to everyone that I'll blow my whole computer sky high. This gave me high blood. I was going to about to rip the whole book into half and man, I'm getting angry right now. Everybody's getting angry. The whole world's getting angry right now. The whole otaku community's getting angry. Sorry, enough's enough. The trend of an all-digital in car entertainment is not quite a very good idea. If they would never give way to CDs, that's when the strike will happen.

Ford Europe, you've provoked us with that kind of approach. Most music lovers love to buy songs in iTunes but for anime otakus, it's not enough. Limited availability is nothing more like an embargo to them. We really won't let that to happen because if you do, we will really don't know what to do next.
