Internet vs. TV
November 15th, 2004 Posted in Main Page
After having the motherboard of my Dell laptop melt down, I've been left computer-less at home for the past three weeks. To be honest, I've felt out of sorts ever since. It has dawned on me that I could easily live with TV. With the exception of a few shows and NFL football, I'm constantly reminded of Bruce Springsteen's “57 Channels (And Nothin' On)” whenever I channel surf. These days, I would be more unhappy if my high-speed connection went on the fritz as opposed to my cable connection. There must be a lot of people in the same boat, which explains why Bell, Telus, Rogers et al are able to keep high-speed prices at healthy levels.
