Old v. New Tech


It has been a while since I have written an article.  Well I am back and I have a good one for you. I went around my house looking for some stuff that would remove the writers block from my frontal lobe or my medulla oblongata.  Thats funny haha, not funny fopaux for my commercial lovers. What does one person need 15 thousand remotes for and do the all in one remotes actually work, I was doing some spring cleaning in December and found all these remotes.  Got remote?  Yea, it is over used, but so what.

Well as the article says this is old versus new tech and I found some old stuff including my old Panasonic Pamlcamcorder IQ.  Yes people this one records to mini VHS tapes and it is absolutely huge as the picture that accompanies this paragraph will prove.  I'm not going to bore you with the dull details of how ahead of its time the camera was when it came out, just
 know when I got it, it was all the rage.  Replacing it is my
 SONY Handycam HD which records to the mini DVD and I'm sorry to say is being supplanted by HD cameras recording directly to hard drives located on newer models.  Man technology is moving faster than my bank accounts interest rate.  

Next, in the attic behind some boxes and under a treasure trove of dust and debris, I found my trust SEGA Game Gear, yes folks my Game Gear.  It was my most prize possession back in the day, early 90's.  Did I just say early 90's?  Okay, well it sits next to Americas new baby the SONY PSP.  As you can see, tech has gotten smaller, faster, and more vibrant.  I tell you what though for the sake of bringing back my inner toy r us kid, I'm going to play the Game Gear on the train and see how many people ask me, just what in the world am I doing.  It should make for some interesting discourse. As you can see from many of my posts, I like to get my nerd tech on.  Im on the hunt for my Mini Disc Player now.  When I find it, you guys will be the first to know.
