The PDA’s A Better Friend
Posted on | February 22, 2008 at 9:58 pm | Comments Off
Favorite recent Google search term that led someone to this blog: “is the television a good or bad friend”. The television is a bad friend, my friend. Oh, you think it’s giving, but it’s really just taking and taking (mostly your time). It can’t help you move. It can’t drive you to the airport. It can’t lend you money or buy you a beer. It can’t be your wingman. It can’t tell you to not drunkenly call your ex-girlfriend. It can’t cook decent Thai food. It can’t bail you out of jail. It can’t be the Designated Driver. It can’t lift you out of the gutter and give you a hot shower and a cuppa joe. It can’t lend you its Vicodin when yours runs out. It can’t wear a Superman costume and switch places with you when you need to prove to Lois that you and Superman are two different people.
It can listen to you talk about your bad day at work, but it can’t really react to it or give you a hug.
Someday the PlayStation will be able to do all that.
Oh that Bell X1 album that I said I wasn’t sure would be on eMusic? It’s on eMusic. You were right, 2fs.
