Anyway, my thought of the day is about the news of the impending switch-over to digital TV, meaning that instead of 4 okay channels, we get 4 okay channels, plus 30 other dreadful channels to waste our time flicking through and our lives in front. Also, from what I gather at home, my mother, who may not be the most technology savvy person in the world shall we say, was pretty much unable to watch TV from the moment our house got freeview, because it was just so complicated: 4 remotes, different channel settings, and cables everywhere. And to be honest I sympathise, despite me being somebody with a Cambridge degree, two computers, a PDA, iPod, digicam etc. It is horrendously complicated. And further still, a big problem we have at home is crappy digital signal. Now with analog, if you had crappy signal, the picture was just a bit fuzzy, and it was still watchable. But with digital, even the slightest hint of interference made the channel a jerky boxy mess that was totally useless. So, for example, in our front room at home, we cannot get ITV. Which is retarded.
I'm sure that you are all, dear readers, capable of extrapolating the point of all this to the general population, without me having to spell it out (old people, etc etc).
Anyway, just my thought of the day, to provide at least a semblance of an attempt to write something every day.
