SD-Cards are a currently widely used physical media.
Even my streamlined slimed-down minimalistic MacBook Pro has an SD-Card slot.
We can make SD-Cards with music and movies on them a reality, we just have to walk to our nearest convenience store, grab a 64Gb version for 10 bucks, put stuff on it, and give it to a friend.
It would be interesting to see a world where more media than just Nintendo videogames were sold as physical media cartridges like read-only SD cards.
My kids have these music players called Yoto players. They're extreme DRM, but still fun and really accessible for little kids to use. Content "comes" on these NFC cards about the size of a playing card. You stick the card in a slot on the top of the player, it plays the music cached from "the cloud". It would have been neat to have something about as durable as this but not an entirely closed single-vendor system.
