Overall, I have no clue as to which development will have the most influence. However, the possiblity of the death of the newspaper would be tragic for me. It starts my day -- a video format (I don't even turn on the TV in the morning) cannot cover all the news a newspaper does and it is hard to scan!

My kids say I live in the past and they are probably right. I adopt to new technology "kicking and screaming". I finally bought an HDTV the past month but it took years to convince me to buy it. One "new" technology I do like is the GPS. We used one on a trip to Florida this past Christmas and it was wonderful. Now only did it get you where you wanted to go, it also entertained you. We especially like the Daniel voice, a wonderful British gentleman!

I have two outdated technologies that are my favorites. Number one would be the Fax machine. Back in the early and mid 90's when I was doing the scheduling of workshops for a national youth gathering, the Fax machine put me in touch with the world and delivered the materials I needed quickly and easily (for then). The other outdated technology I liked is the VHS format. Just pop it in the machine and it goes --- no menus, no choices to make. Just sit back and watch.

This componet was fun. I visited Hulu first and watched several things. I watched the last episode of "Alf". I didn't know what movie to watch so I just browsed and found a 1962 movie: 3 stooges in orbit. I remember watching it as a child, not as funny now but I was curious to see which of the 3 stooges it featured. It was the originals: Curly, Larry and Moe. I liked the extras: full screen option and the lower lights (adjusting the brightness of the screen, Hi Res, etc. I have never been a fan of watching videos/movies on my computer (screen is too small and no place to get comfortable) and probably still won't but at least I know what options are out there.

For fee paying options I would probably use the Red Box. The convience is there and you can get a DVD on the spur of the moment. My new TV had the capability to stream movies but it is not hooked up. I guess I will just continue to check out most of my movies from the library!

I also used IMDB and watched several trailers. That is a site that could become very useful in my life. Perhaps I will bookmark it. I watched a trailer for Alice in Wonderland (had several to choose from). The appeal for me is the many titles they have trailers for. I didn't know that Diary of a Wimpy Kid was coming out until I watched IMDB.

Module 79

I looked at Hulu TV. I have never been interested in watching tv episodes on my computer, so this is all new. I had heard of You Tude and watch a few of those but that's it. I looked for America's Next Top Model, cycle 14. There were no full episodes avalaible "at this time" however there are previews for cycle 14, which starts March 10, which I could watch.

I have never watched a TV show on a cell phone. I am really not interested in watching a show on a 2" - 4" screen. These old eyes need something bigger!

The streaming is not something I have watched and I have never posted videos.
