Seriously, who wants it? Who needs it?
When will people wake up to the mad scramble for spurious technological "advance" for what it is? It's simply symptomatic of a wider malaise you can yawn at, if you like - the inability of people to be satisfied.
And as for television itself being developed - why? The shows are dire and the noise - just pollution. Yet the MTV field raises the need for higher-fi then something else, then something else and so on.
"Progress, you stick-in-the-mud," I hear you mutter.
"Really?" I reply.
A 150-inch high-definiton plasma TV unveiled by Panasonic is the world's largest to date, the Japanese consumer electronics company claimed Monday at the International Consumer Electronics Show.
The plasma panel features an 8.84 million pixel image resolution. Its screen is the equivalent of nine 50-inch sets, with an effective viewing area of 11 feet, the company said. It's a step up from Panasonic's 103-inch version, which cost $70,000 when it launched. The company did not say in a news release how much the 150-inch panel will cost.

We are right on track for Ray Bradbury's parlor TV-walls.

ReplyDeleteSo far, this is the most pointless thing I've seen all day and it's only half 11.
ReplyDeleteDo people have nothing better to spend money on?
