we encoutered several evolutionary steps in the last few hundred years. "age of reason", "industrial revolution", etc.
with the dawn of spam email officially being attacked and now the phone solicitors, are we stumbling upon the "age of stop bugging me" or the "age of leave me alone, I don't need more sexual stamina"??
WAIT!!!!!!! unless this is the front for that ever scrupulous underground hacking cult known as the Lucky Charms... Green Clovers and Purple Mushrooms...
I own the Sony Satellite/Tivo Combo, and I can't complain. I think my parents could use it (and that is saying a lot). I paid $300 with a $200 rebate, I pay $10 for service and an extra $5 to take care of the dual tuners - and I have a bad ass component in my rack. I can record two shows at once and watch a show that was already recorded. The technology is there, the simplicity is there. People who downtalk the Tivo setup have not used it, plain and simple.
This thing actually records shows based on your viewing habits. I watched TheScreenSavers for the first few days that I had the Tivo and now it automatically records the show for me. Setup problems?? How could there be, one power cord, one phone cord, pair of RCAs for audio and an S-video to the back of the TV... hit power, follow the directions onscreen and SHPLAM!!!!! It was on. Maybe I could forsee a problem when you have to deal with your local cable listings, I have no experience here, but I can't believe that they can't idiot proof it.
The first thought that crossed my mind, is how much longer can we expect the keyboard to live?? I saw in one post that someone said that keyboard will never die - pretty short sighted statement. Voice recognition has come a long way, and who knows what tomorrow holds. I would like to think that the world will not be stagnate after I die, I actually enjoy the thought that people of the future might just possible look back and say things like - "they had to use their hands??"
Okay, so maybe this was a Jack Handy sort of idea, a little too deep. Stuff like this just sets my mind to wandering.

you are missing the point, communicate with 12 yr olds TODAY... the inflection forces you to think a little harder...
your ignorance blinds you, but there are plenty of 12 yr olds that could use the help...
Is this news worthy here??
