Every once and awhile I end up telling the kids, like an old person, that they don't know how good they have it TV wise just turning on the TV and having a huge digital video library available to them.

Conversations I'll someday have with my daughter that will make little to no sense to her no matter how much I try to explain

Ah, brave new world with TiVo in it!

Every so often now I start thinking that one of those new two terabyte drives would be nice to have in my DVR.

I'm working on a column sort of like that blog, Gud. My dad didn't have electricity until he was 11. We have broadband, a Wii, cellphones and a van with a DVD player in it.

It's amazing how fast the tech is evolving.

And yet, still no TRANSPORTER.

mac who did not have a phone in his home for his first 4 years and who I do not believe saw more than a few people with cell phones, he cannot believe a world without answering machines and multiple numbers for people.

I remember when I bought my first Zip drive.

I'd like to have a Wii, but I don't think I could talk my wife into one.

My Comcast dvr has 80 hours of space available. Total. Which sucked when I had all ten hours of the miniseries of Planet Earth in HD on it--that sucked up more than 40 percent of space.

See if you can get her to try one at a friends' house or something. I wouldn't have bought one, because every video game I've ever tried has left me either frustrated or bored or both. But just a couple minutes with the Wii and I was "gotta get me one of those!"

I remember when I bought my first Zip drive.

I bought my first cell phone just prior to going to the very first F2F (2002), because I figured being out of town -- as well as coordinating/wrangling dozens of Buffistas -- would be a good reason to have a cell phone.
