How is Time Life still a thing?

There are 76 million Baby Boomers in America, that's a very significant market segment. They are retired or retiring, empty nesters, and stable/secure enough financially to spend a hundred bucks on what they deem a quality entertainment package with an evergreen/shelf life quality that reminds them of their youth.

In their minds, a new Beatles CD anthology or the entire run of Carol Burnett on DVD is a HELLUVA lot better investment than that 300-channel, $100-a-month cable TV package they gotta buy just to get the six channels that are worth watching.

And consider ... the technology that hit in their lifetime that became a daily force in their lives, that changed the way they consumed both information and entertainment like music, TV and movies? THEIR internet?

Cable television in the 1970s.

You see where this is going? LOL

Are there still that many old people who can’t figure out the internet out there buying CD collections?

There are some of us old people that can actually still hear well enough to care what our audio source sounds like, the compression of streaming audio sounds horrid compared to even the worst mastered CDs. The younger generations probably never knew any difference since they were raised on the internet and MP3s, but that my be changing due to the growing popularity of vinyl among them.
