Week 3 tech thought:
It is all moving very fast. First you finally let go of your Betamax (let us not even discuss the laser disc) because everything, everything is VHS . Then, you have to get a DVD player if you want to watch any movies because they have stopped releasing them on VHS but you keep the VCR because you might want to tape something on TV. Something educational of course off of PBS. But times grind forward and just as you begin to consider a recordable DVD or Tivo (you know, for that special on sharks on PBS for the kids, certainly not to record America's got Talent" or anything so mundane ) along comes Blue ray which seems to me to be just a glorified DVD putting on airs.
f that change threw you off for awhile you are lucky because now, forget the Betae, forget the VHS, the DVD, the RDVD, the Tivo and the Blue ray that is all old hat stone age technology that is. No, you don't want all that old stuff. What you want is downloadable media. ...
I guess they figure I have spent enough on hardware and it's time for me to buy software because I don't have the right programs on my PC. Then you find out that you 2 year old computer is really pretty out of date and don't you want a nice power book with Wifi instead? Of course, if you really want to enjoy this download properly, what you really need is a new home entertainment center with wireless surround sound and a touch screen remote with security camera options so you can see what Xbox video game the kids are watching while you tape that PBS special on sharks ... at least I think it was sharks ... I was distracted by the credit card and electrical bills and think I might have passed out for a moment.
