recently announced that the VCR is obsolete, and several electrical chain said it will no longer stock them. This seems to happen very quickly, usually built on this type of information, and we've gotten used to things gradually phased out. Not this time though, the news just burst upon us and people who have not yet become comfortable with the DVD technology are in a panic.
seems to me that the VCR was not around for very long. I could understand this sudden rush on the part of the shop to remove it from their shelves, if the experiment succeeded, but the VCR was a monster success. I guess it's just an example of how the rush toward obsolescence and replacement of new inventions is accelerated.
I have no problem with using the DVD burner and discs certainly take up much less storage space compared to the large, old video tapes. It just made me feel suddenly old. No, it's not quite that, more like I should be feeling older than me. Do not get me wrong, I'm not all that ancient (baby boomer if you would care to know), but I have a problem with getting old. Problem is that I never feel any older and I see your face in the mirror sometimes I by surprise because in my head I'm still around nineteen. My kids are no doubt grateful that my youth remains in my head, and not reflected in my closet and social habits.
When I was a child, the VCR is still waiting around for someone to come and invent. Suddenly, he invented, is reduced to one fourth its original size and is now on track to disappear zajedno.Meteorski VCR career I started thinking about how many other things we take for granted do not exist or are too expensive to be owned by the average people when I was a child.
Other generations have experienced the major events and social change. Nothing I have experienced can compare the two world wars. It was the invention of the national health service, the discovery of penicillin, the Industrial Revolution, the first aircraft, nylon. If you want to go back on was the invention of the wheel and discovering how to make fire, but I feel like my generation must have seen many changes (big and small), than any previous one.
So much has happened within my lifetime: scientific inventions, historical events and cultural changes. Some, like space travel and the Internet are significant. Some, like highways, are part of the blessing and part curse. Some, such as mobile phones, and anyone owning a refrigerator, we do not even notice as the progress, because no one thinks about it. I doubt many people spend time reflecting on the fact that a few years ago, the phone size and weight of a brick house and needed a long antenna.
the Internet has allowed all the mad scientist dreams that inspired the writing of many shelves of fiction. Now we're pretty blase about the fact that we can talk and see a friend through our computer, even if it is a friend many miles away. It's not very many years since the idea to raise a smile when he appeared in the sci-fi film, because it is too incredible looks even remotely possible. It has become a reality without anyone taking much notice, only science is continuously evolving and its evolution is now so fast that no one is trying to keep it, we all just take it for granted.
just thinking about homemade things that do not exist in my childhood, I can state the microwave oven, VCR, DVD, PC, CD, washing machine, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, television, central heating, dishwasher, double glass, vacuum cleaner, phone, dishwasher, softener, plastic bags, fast food (except fish and chips), tissue paper, soft toilet paper, quilts.
If any of these things existed during my childhood, I knew nothing of them because it would be too expensive for my family to afford. Finally, we owned a vacuum cleaner (television came much later). When I was ten years old, my mother would make me and my brother on a trip with two buses to visit the aunt who owned a TV. We would marvel at the silent black-and-white images that are available only several hours each day and there was no squabbling over which channel to watch:. There was only one
There was no pre-packaged meat, butter, cheese, crackers, rice, dry fruits. Come to think of it, there were no supermarkets. I loved waiting in line with my mom and watching the shop assistants, cutting boards from a huge block of butter and pat them into shape with wooden paddles. Raisins and electricity for the weekly baking session will be scooped from bulging hessian sacks and carefully tip the weighing pan. Biscuits were selected from a large square tin and place in paper bags carefully (any breakages should be sold off cheaply ).
All these things gradually changed. Electrical goods become cheaper, supermarkets were invented and hygienic packaging stigao.Vrijeme when traders were treated with respect for the past. Power shifted from the trader to the customer and we have become a new breed of customers we have become potrošača.VCR our latest victim, I wonder what we will eat next.
