Technology - making my life cushier!

As you all know Steve and I moved into our new home last weekend. I love it! I love my kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and most of all my whirlpool tub. The whole place is fabulous and we are settling in nicely. Along with our new home as come some new gadgets for the two of us. Things that we have always had access to, but never owned ourselves. Just today we purchased our new 42" Samsung plasma TV to be able to watch our Dish network on and on Sunday we bought a brand new laptop. It is sort of comical about the laptop, we got it because it was a great deal, but we do not have internet yet. So our computer really does nothing at this point, because it has no features. We just sit and look at it!!!
Something we discovered about the Dish network we have is that there is interactive games on it. For a small fee you can play monopoly, mahjong tiles (yes!), yahtzee, solitaire or any number of games. It really is so nice and convenient! All you have to do is pick up the remote and voila you are playing an oldie, but a goodie. Not only that, but now that we have a big TV to play them on, we can actually see what we are doing.
Oh, I do love technology!! Before you know it, it'll be just like Star Trek - The Next Generation. All you will have to do is walk up to a computer, say beef and a large steak will appear. I fear we will all gain 150 pounds and never leave our homes. I really am just kidding. Technology has made life easier though and I know that we can all appreciate that!

Wow, it seems like your home is coming together nicely, Megan. I never knew that you could play games on the television; that is incredible. My father just gave me his "old" television, because they bought a "better" HD TV, which is something I really do not understand. I have never bought a television before; my dad has these technological fits and buys a newer one when the "older" one has a kink. Hmmm, I still think I hate television...
