DDR itself has been through a various number of changes and it still goes through more now. I can only read of the past,but I'm part of its future now. I've been playing for about 5 months now, getting used to all difficulties,but I can't do any of that stuff like tricks and such, but I'm an active casual/arcade/computer(stepmania) player. Its good to see the community grow,but its also sad to see when the machines don't get used =\.
In the city I live, there is a DDR Solo 2000 machine,only has one pad instead of two, at a family pizza place. Seeing how the other machine closest to me,DDR Max2 7th mix, is a city away, I sometimes go to play the Solo 2000 machine. When I get there, usually I see the norm of little kids trying to jump up and down on it, and act like they dance to it.Other than that,no one else touches it. I sit down with food and then immediately go up to play it. I notice that people watch me play it,and obviously hear it, due to the metal pad,but they can't hear the music,due to the crowd and the machine volume turned down. Other than that, few people rarely touch it that can play it.
On the other hand,when I go to play the 7th mix machine, I see people from all races step up and play,not trying to stereotype,but asians being the best ^^ Maybe I can fix that one day.Anywho, I see various people play it from time to time,when I'm not on it myself. Its good to see DDR gaining slight media attention on various television shows, like South Park,and Malcom in the Middle, but its great that it still can hold up its underground competitive scene. I live in South Carolina in the US,and my city of Sumter won't seem to gain anymore players anytime soon ^^;
I await DDR's future changes and innovations with awe and inspiration.

Yeah, it said small alluminum plates, but what about lets say, nukes later on? Just a thought.
