We progress to solid state circuitry.
Then comes the 20 inch flat screen hanging on the wall for a mere $19,000.
Time marches on. Cathode ray tubes give way to 36', 46" 56" 65" and 75" and above flat screen LCD....LED'....
A 65" flat screen TV weighs less than 60 pounds.
Prices are down to less than $500 for a 64 inch screen.
Then comes the iphones....first small and noy medium to too big to put in your pocket....along with iPads....etc....etc...
I waited a long time to have my 70 inch with home theatre.
I have a 30 inch computer monitor and an iPad.
I refuse to regress back to something smaller than when I started this catharsis on screen size.
No I will not be getting a one inch square screen........
It is so nice to be able to ride the technology wave and have so many choices.
I know those who want the watch will enjoy every second it offers (pun intended).
PS...I know I left some items out of the above evolution but it truly is amazing!!
