Television technology has gotten so out of hand. I must admit this is not a part of my realm of techno fascination. At least in terms of my knowing and dabbling in knowing what is going on with TV’s. I just plain don’t have the cash to go buy a $1,000 set.
My first weird experience, one that told me that I was out of touch with this technology, was a visit to one of the big box electronics retailers a number of years ago. Just to see what all this stuff was all about (plasma, HD, etc.), I wandered over to the TV section. I was floored. The prices, the number of different kinds and the awesome pictures that were on the screens. Still, I could not believe that this is where things had come to with this technology. I don’t watch to much TV, which is another reason I do not know or care very much about the latest greatest new sets.
With that I could not believe that folks were readily buying TVs that cost many thousands of dollars. Yet apparently there were. Very strange is what I thought then. And I still do think that today.
