I am not a technology fan. Okay, I kind of am, but its way more of a love/hate thing. Take the internet for example. I think its the devil, but have no idea how to function without it. I also love the ability to bore random people with my random thoughts :) But I could not get somewhere I have never been before without the internet. I would never know how much money I had without the internet. I would never see distant aquantainces babies without the internet. I see its purpose and its useful.
DVDs not so much. Blu-Ray? Not at all.
I love that with a video cassette, it stays right where you stopped it. I love that you are not forced to watch the FBI warning that no one listens to anyway so far as I can tell from looking at various people's movie collections. I like the basicness of it. I like the ease of recording from the TV onto the VHS.
One good thing about DVDs and Blu-Rays though. Now all the VHS tapes are super cheap at Goodwill. $2-4 will buy you pretty much any Disney movie you could want. Well except the new ones that are not released on such old technology. VCRs are only $5 if you get the right color tag! Which is good because you will be replacing them fairly often seeing as how most of them are pretty crappy.

But I don't mind. I have so many movies of VHS that the idea of not being able to watch them anymore is pretty horrifying. And the idea of replacing them all is really horrifying. I don't watch them often, but I sure want to be able to.
