Technology is so amazing....

I just looked at my blog after having signed up to have the ads placed on it. I noticed the NetFlix, which is something I have recently enrolled in. We move forward in technology so fast these days it is amazing.

I remember back thinking it was so cool we got our first VCR, or our first TV with a remote, our first cable box.

Now, VCR's are a thing of the bast, remotes are "cordless" - yes the first remote I remember having for out television had a cord on it, oh wait, that was for the VCR player and it had a switch you could move up and down that would stop and start the tape. Our first cable box had buttons that you pushed down, you had to get up and go to the TV too, oh the hardships I have known.

I also remember when my mom would fix our TV, she took the back off and there were tubes in the back you took them to a machine that was in most stores and you could check them to see if they were bad and get them replaced. One downside to advanced technology is....you can't fix your own TV.....but.....that is OK I love our HD TV and I will just hold onto those fond memories.

I never had the video games that you played on TV, didn't really get into those but that didn't stop me from sitting in front of the TV all the time I just watched television shows.

Kids now have several different gaming systems, each requiring different games. They even have them in their rooms.

Lets not even get started on computers.

So far I think the NetFlix is great, and I just do it the old fashioned way via snail mail, even with the snail mail they get them too you fast. There are some lucky ones that have the gaming systems and they can just play the movies through them....I this might be my next technological investment....that...or an iPhone 4 ;)

Oh, cell phones....not going to go there either that would take a long time.

I still think the people who are advancing us in this technological world need to focus on advancing our auto industry so that we are not depended on oil!

Take the hint GM!!!! I'm a GM brat, I was raised on your money....time to move forward.

Anyhow - the moral to this blog posting....checkout NetFlix I think you will enjoy it!!!
