It took my wife and I until just last year to upgrade from our 20" TV to a 40" HD LCD. We've been married 23 years and had only one TV until only a few years ago (Mom-n-Law jettisoned an old 20" to us, bringing us up to 2). Just never could quite blow big $$$ on HiDef until recently...life, you know? I now look at this LCD and think, it's just like watching a movie in the theater! I still hold tenaciously onto my record player, but we own a few CD players. We even each own an IPod! Yes, electronics have wormed their way into our household, but sometimes I wonder if to our detriment.

I remember a TV commercial with Tom Selleck...touting something like "Imagine someday sitting on a beach typing on your laptop...you will". I don't (not on the beach, anyway) but it's all arond us. I go to the movie, and these fools are NOT watching the movie, but futzing on their cell phones Texting. Whats up with that? You had to drag my sorry butt inside the house as a kid...now, I don't see any kids ouside building snow forts or playing Army. Hmmmm, progress is good?
