The technical development of the Internet might lead to a dismantling of the warehouses for records. When you are interested in buying a piece of music you simply make a connection to the record company and receiving a copy via the network, the payments being handled by an ``electronic'' bank. In order for the current warehouses to survive they have to provide some added-value, for instance knowledge or service or perhaps serve as a place where people can hook into the net for distributed group activities. This is again a typical trend in the transition from the industrial production oriented society to the ``post-industrial'' service oriented society. The stores could be transformed from places where you buy artifacts, to places where you meet people.
