Television Technology Changes Faster Than the Internet

I think I need help. I’m having trouble keeping up with technology. Let’s narrow that down a little, I don’t think I understand where television is or where it’s going.

I was watching TV ( what did you think I was going to say) when they mentioned not only HDTV but something called SDTV and some terms I never heard of before. I mean how am I expected to have the latest stuff when they keep changing the standard.

It’s been hard for me and nobody seems to care. Years ago my wife started collecting “Disney Classics”. That’s OK, I like Disney, but just when she had just about everything they made on VHS, along came DVD. So, did she just pick up where she left off. NO!! Now we had to start over and get everything in DVD format. Not only that but I had to have a VCR/DVD player hooked to every television in the house. Now we are moving to Blu-Ray. Here we go again. It’s not just the cost involved, but I’m running out of space.

Same thing with television. Color, digital, HDTV and SDTV, flat panel, plasma, where does it end.  Can we just take a break in innovation for about three years while I catch up? Please?

Let’s go back to a simpler time when my Great Uncle John bought his first TV. It was a black and white by Magnavox. He was the first of his family and friends to have one and he suddenly became very popular. OH!! I forgot to mention that it was advertised as a “Giant Screen”. Yep, the screen was a full nine inches. AH!! The good old days.
