There is an exit
The Watchers:
"Have you ever felt like the world is a party that you somehow got invited to by mistake? Bad music, indigestible food, and people with whom you have little or nothing in common?"
...
“The blandness of digital culture is a problem. It’s believed that experience isn’t anything really special. And it undervalues things that are subjective. So the world of aesthetics starts to become ignored, or rebelled against, or rationalized, or just handled very poorly so you get this feeling to digital culture of hyperblandness. Everything has a blurring into everything else, and nothing has an identity or flavor.”

Tell me where: I got the handkerchiefs.
There's no need for all these tears. Unless, of course, Sartre was right, and there's actually no exit after all. Anybody got a hankie for me? My lips are starting to quiver already...
Agreed - I think we already do so. It's a most rewarding exercise, searching for tiny bits of diamond dust (if there is such a thing) through piles and miles of crappy hyper, as some of us do in blogoland, e.g.
But I am sure the term 'digital' is used to describe the era, not the medium.
De gustabus disputandum non est.
The world is a faustian party where reality is created as the party unfolds.
