Everything's Molding to One
Red PandaIt's the sign of the times when you find your favorite gizmo is compatible with something that doesn't seem right. Take for instance Observe and Report . It's available on "DVD, On Demand, and Game Consoles". Note the third option. Game Consoles? Since when!?
One of the other things that worry me about gadgets that access the vastness of information technology is that cellphones are increasingly becoming the way to view the web. Basically, cellphones are the new laptops, in just a few short years after laptops beat out desktop computers in sales.
To make matters worse (or better, depending on the perspective), the iPhone and cellphones in particular are becoming an attractive proposition for game developers. Soon we'll have one device that just does everything we need... or we're already there and we're just nurturing it during the first generation of such devices. To put in modern contexts, why would anyone buy a PSP Go when you can buy an iPhone 8GB? Or heck, why get a PSP Go when Zune HD seems to be promising... and still cheaper?
While it's interesting to see what will replace cellphones in our never ending desire to communicate and access information, I'm just playing the old guy (even though I'm way too young to say that) and defending the faithful desktop computer.
Besides, the desktop computer is the foundation for all that other hardware gadget lovers take for granted anyway.
