An Expensive Paperweight
I guess it’s a good thing I don’t watch television (other than CNN, Fox, and MSNBC, one of which is usually on in the background when I’m in my apartment). I was admiring some online ads for high definition plasma TVs and wondering whether I should ever get one. I even browsed various discount electronics sites (TigerDirect, Amazon.com, Bestbuy, etc.) Uh uh, no way, especially not after I read this article in the Washington Post, “High-Def Disconnect.” (Anyway, I can’t even bring myself to watch DVDs anymore, since I find sitting still to watch anything longer than 10 minutes too boring; there’s always something I should be doing, writing, editing, or reading.)
