Did you ever notice the obsesstion with small devices? For example the new cell plones. They are so small that I could snap them in half without effot and you need a pencil to dial the numbers!

I know what you mean. Things are getting better, and smaller, at first it was good, but now, things are getting too small!

Indeed, and I just hate how they are putting so much crap on cell phones! Who needs a text messenger on it anyway? It wastes power and time and would it not be easier to just call them?

I know, I tried it once, it took me 20 minutes to email myslef a basic message that said :"Hi, TEST" Plus, the games now to, and MP3 phones. Or iTunes on phones. PHONES ARE PHONES, not entertainment systems. Now they got TV on them!

I was just thinking about this.
First of all, as most who know me well already know, I don't even like CDs. I've always thought records had more personality, and they have better sound quality anyway.
I don't like DVDs. VHS are made better and last longer.
I hate how things keep getting flipping smaller! Cell phones, CDs, everything! Laptops! TVs! Next thing you know, someone will make a combination of them all!
Give me the days where things may be a bit big, but at least they worked well and were good quailty.

I like DVD's and CD's. I hated them at first, but I've learned the advantages. I like how the size of the computer is now. It doesn't need to get smaller.
You know how the computer was HUGE when it was first made compared to now? Well, I think that when we're as old as the people who talk about that first computer are now, the kids will say 'So what if you had a computer that could sit on your lap? I have one that can fit on my fingernail!'

DDL, records have terrible sound quality. (8 KBPS0 CDs play at 192KBPS. VHS are awful really, always needing to track it and such.

I also once dislike DVDs and other such devices but I soon realized the potential they hold.
The new Ipod is so pitiful in my opinion. (The ipod nano) It has so many options like picture viewers, mp3 player, and much more but does anyone really need all that? I think not! And its soo thin too! I could snap it in half if I wanted to. But it is handy in transfering project files like a jump drive though but the Nano only has 2 GB while the mini is older and has a black and white screen with a lot less options but it has 4GB. I have a mini and I have learned to like because it came free with my lap top. But yeah don't buy an ipod nano. It's not worth it. However some of the hicks at school have got them already.

PSP would be cool if it was bigger and could play PS2 and PS1 games.

Yeah. The PSP is a big marketing scam. And its working. If you think like a marketer, you have better chances of not getting ripped off! PSP only uses 92BIT graphics, its actually worse than the PS2. The discs cant hold no data, making the games shorter. Its terrible in the end
