HD? Who cares?!

HD channel this, HD channel that... I am sick of hearing about HD. I have watched programmes on a friends HD tv and I cant see what all the fuss is about. Seriously!

Im sure there are many people who will disagree with me but you see, I come from a generation of kids who had indoor areials. We were just happy that we got any picture, never mind a crystal clear one!

My first TV was a black n white one with a dial to change the channels. My first colour set was given to me when I was about nine years old but this one had buttons. I mustve been in my late teens before I got a set with a remote. still remember the betamax video player my dad got where the remote was attached to it via a wire. I thought that was the dogs bollocks!!!

I constantly see commercials for HD channels and HD sets... What next? A HD microwave??? "The new Toshiba HD Microwave. Its like youre actually cooking food"

So this is why I will never get excited about HD and I will resist buying a set or subscribing to a HD channel for as long as I can. The history of man has been fraught with scams... analog to digital... the decimalization of Britain in 1971... theyre nothing more than money making schemes!
