A few weeks ago I decided it was time to change my lifestyle from sedentary to active. Yes, time to get up off the couch and start getting some exercise. I thought that I'd begin by going for a walk around my neighborhood. Funny thing how one can drive everywhere and never notice much more than the road. You don't pay attention to anything in your surroundings unless its blatantly noticeable. I was astonished to see what my neighbors had done to their homes' exteriors. I saw many innovative applications that I thought would be a valuable addition to my own property. More amazing though was the fact that most of the homes had flat panel TVs on their living room and den walls readily visible from the sidewalk. These LCDs projected a much sharper picture than the old analog sets. I was surprised that so many had them. I guess that since they have become so much more affordable, that and the fact that the broadcasters have had to drop the analog method, have contributed to the increased sales...despite the economy. What a difference high definition has made!
