Technologyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!

So...I feel as if you are all going to get bored hearing about me and technology!!! I really am trying to keep it light and fun and still fulfill the requirements of the assignment. I realize that I talked about our new television in my last blog, but I am entirely impressed with it. Listen it is super nice! We only got the 720 p, the P standing for pixels and that refers to what the television stations broadcast there shows in. The 720 P is soooo much more affordable than the 1080 P! The 1080 P price is double the price of the same model in the 720 P. Plus the fact that most of the television shows do not even broadcast in 1080 P yet, so at this point it is a waste of money. The t.v. is high def, though we did not get any high def channels on the Dish, because that makes things cost more money. Even though we sound like spendthrifts, we are trying to conserve. So no high def stations for us. However, for those of you who are not aware the local channels broadcast a feed that is high def. Not only do you have channels 15, 21, & 33 - you have 15-1, 21-1, 33-1, those are the high def stations. So what you do is go to radio shack and buy yourself some cheap rabbit ears to pull in the local channels, then you can watch those in high def for free. That is super nice!! You can especially see the difference when you go from not being in high def to high def or vice versa! We watched American Idol last week in high def, I seriously felt like I was in the audience. It was amazing, I think I saw all of Paula's blemishes! Anyways all this say to I love technologyyyyyyyyyyy!!! I love watching my new t.v.!

So I'm someone who has a regular tv without cable, just rabbit ears. I toy with the idea of cable once in a while but don't think the little amount of tv I watch justifies the ridiculous money they charge. It just seems like a rip-off. And don't even get me started on going to the movies where I pay $10 and then have to watch commercials!!!
