Interesting how times change.

Donnie sent an interesting article on a recent Pew Research poll asking people what they "can't live without".

It used to be that, when that poll was taken in the past, TV was always at the top of the list of things they had to have.  Now less than 50%, of the people questioned say they can't live without a TV.  Not surprising when you consider that cable systems across the country lost 2 million subscribers last year.  Apparently the "more channels" the cable systems are always talking about isn't much of a selling point.  People are wise to the fact that "more channels" just means more junk you pay for but never watch.

Among the younger people, E-Mail is as outdated as I am.  The kids never use E-Mail.  It's all texting and social networks.

And, desktop computers?  Forget it.  NO ONE OF ANY AGE is buying them anymore.

Just about the time you've bought all the latest stuff and you think you're on the "cutting edge" they change all the "stuff" again and you're back to square one.
