The article from an alert that I recently read was about how technology has advanced so much that it has started to contain so much, pardon me, but, useless "crap". Instead of just being abble to buy a blu-ray player that simply connects to your TV and plays discs, the author of the article wrote that it took him forever to find something, and everything was labeled with nonsense letters and numbers. He ended up getting one with a wireless connector and built-in netflix and a bunch of other stuff he did not need.
I have to say that I have found myself thinking the same kinds of things at times. I am thankful of how easy some things have gotten over the years, what with having everything at the tip of your fingers, but why is it that we can no longer find simple devices? If you want something that will just play DVDs, why can't you buy just that? It has to come with all kinds of things that you will either have to pay to use (like Netflix) or that you would never bother using anyway. It's good to upgrade, but maintaining simplicity is nice, too.
