#81: Get Out Your Crystal Ball

I don't agree that 3D will be like the switch to color. I personally do not care to wear the glasses and have found that watching something in 3D will cause me to get a severe headache and has also made me nauseated. I do think that the younger generation will adapt to it quickly.

I am not that quick to adapt to some of the new gadgets. A few years back my husband and I purchased our first flat screen HD television and now less then 3 years later we have noticed that there is an imagine that has burned into the screen. It is very annoying when they show a person's face where the image is burned, because it puts a shadow on the persons face. We also own a television (tube television) that is over 20 years old and it still has a crystal clear picture. So, much for new technology :( My favorite new gadget is my DVR, I have only had it now for 5 months and I do not know what I ever did without it : )

# 80: Movies

I have watched an entire film on my computer before, but found that it is not something that I would do again. First of all I find it more comfortable form my sofa and it still allows me to do other things at the same time. Second, of all when I watch a movie I usually have one or more of my family members with me.

I viewed some of the sites for trailers on upcoming film, but I found that I would not use them, simply because my inter-net provider has the trailer viewing on the home page. It is very convenient.

We have satelite television and prefer buying the movies through pay per view. I think the only time that I would use one of these free based services would be to search for movie trailers.

#79: Television

I have never used Hulu.com before, but after watching a couple of my favorite show on it, I became hooked. I must say that I prefer watching them on abc.com only because most of the shows that I watch are on abc. I was able to watch full episodes on both sites.

I have not ever watched a t.v. show on my cell phone only because the phone that I have now is not capable of that. In the future should I purchase such a phone I don't think that it would be something that I would do. Although I do see the advantages of having the option to do so, especially if you are waiting in a doctors office or the bus ride to work. I have never posted video's to a site.
