Week 2 blog
Well I am just getting around to writing my blog for week 2. The miniproject was on our interpretation of the the future in 10 years. Today is the first day of the digital Tv switch over. I haven't seen anyone getting extremely upset that their tv is not working but it is still during the work week. I kinda think that the stimulus checkes that everyone recieved last year that so many people went out and bought HD tvs with is lessening the hit. The DTV switchover is the first step towards a new tv. With digital signals I wonder if statistics will be better on usage. Closing off Analong is stimulating the economy with the purchasing of the digital tv boxes even with a voucher that doesn't pay for the sales tax on them. Little by little it will add up. In the end the digital switchover is going to be a big step in household integration and entertainment.

I agree that the DTV switchover is a big deal...it is part of this digital evolution and revolution that has gone on for years and will continue for a long time.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have FIOS, some of my rooms are unwired and have analog sets so I can had to run out and get converter boxes for them. It seems that the digital signal is less strong and can't catch some of the stations. I learned that I will need a new antenna which is pretty disappointing.
