Writer's Block: Gone with the wind

The television. Or at least television programming. Well, okay, maybe that will take more than ten years, but who watches television anymore? If you miss a program, you watch it online. If you can't do that for free, then you download it. If you can't do that, you blow it off because there is so much online content available with which to entertain yourself. So, yeah, television as we know it.

Oh, three things...um...landline phones and single-purpose mobile devices (ie, cell phones that are just cell phones).

I have a Roku box (about the size of a Whitman's Sampler box) attached to my 40 inch TV. I can get Netflix and Amazon on Demand and MLB streaming wirelessly and other content from the internet is beginning to appear on that little box. I just wish Hulu would come to Roku. I would ditch my cable.

And as for phones, I would ditch the land line but the phone number has been in the family for 75 years and every one in town knows it. I also have high speed DSL from the phone company (I get a discount for having both with CenturyTel).

I do use my cell phone for most of my calls, I text a little bit and take a few pictures with it because it's handy in some situations.

I don't have a Roku box, but my TV does all that, too. It's new and they apparently do that. All internet ready and all that. We get YouTube, Netflix, and anything streaming.

I am the opposite of you with phones. No one gets my number. It is a highly guarded secret. If the town knew my number, I would get calls all night about the dog that ate some pizza or some such thing.
