Sharkfin's blog: "Chaos"

created on 10/03/2006  |  http://fubar.com/chaos/b9661
Good Morning…. In an ever changing world of the I-POD generation where one can listen to endless amounts of music from a device smaller then most little fingers now comes it’s big brother the IPHONE, oh yeah! Apple is introducing it and for a meager price of 499 you too can own a 4 gigabyte unit to store and synchronize a user's music, video and photos from Apple's ITunes. Oh wait they’re not finished. Along with the IPHONE the company's new TV, which could do for digital movies what the iPod did for digital music. The TV, actually a recording device with a 40-gigabyte hard drive, will let users wirelessly take downloaded video and photo content and watch it on big-screen televisions. Apparently right now they are going after older flicks from Viacom's (VIA, news, msgs) Paramount Pictures. For now, Paramount will offer only its backdated titles, not new releases. Still, it's a sign that Apple will succeed in building off its Disney library and in time will offer a full slate of movies. Hmmm just where are we going with this and how soon do we get there. I am a big supporter of the TV thingy, which could change the price of rental movies sure, it could change the price of many video products just like the DVD did to VHS but… just where are we going? First off, the iphone as if we needed another device to hinder traffic jams and accidents on the highways, local streets and country roads. How often are you at a stop light one or two cars behind an idiot talking on their cell and not paying attention to the green light that had turned green moments before and he or she is arguing with an unseen person on the other end. Well that’s funny in itself to watch someone argue over a cell phone in their car, let along holding the phone up to their ear. How about the hands-free users arguing? Oh call the guys in the white smocks and reserve their padded room. Oh one step better there are always that person who is arguing in his or her car and you just know there is no phone in site and no other person in that car too… Yeah psycho moment. But, the real premises of this whole note is to say and open up your mind to the future via the iphone. Too much info in a little package. Oh no I love progress as much as any other and I think the concept is wonderful. Just the portion of users forgetting they are in the real world and other issues going on while they do videogames, pictures and emails and you know that some of this up-coming users are going to burst out laughing while perusing their emails in an area where they need to pay more attention to what is going on around them and others. I only see the bad that will follow and it will crush the good. Some states already have cell phone use violations in their laws…. This could make that seem like a name calling session in congress… Let’s hope not. Kudos’ to Apple I just hope it is not more destructive then productive.
