    if anything's dead, it's print newspapers, I get all my news online now, havent bought a paper in about a year.
    Cartoons are VERY much alive yes. I hope you like them because were in for much "more of the same"

    Maybe I'll start going to see plays . . but I hear holographic technology is coming along pretty fast.

    My buddy delievers Sunday papers on the weekend for extra cash. He says theyre half the size they used to be because noone advertises anymore . And the subscriptions are down too so he hardly makes enough to cover his gas expenses.

    How long before we don't have comics?

      Christ the comic industry is much more dead than the movie industry and has been for years.

      I'll confess, I'm a little underwhelmed once I seen the specs on this thing. I have the iPhone, so I don't really need this.

      As always, early adopters will get burned. In a year or so they'll have all the stuff people want on there, but at a reduced price. I'll look into it then.

        That's why I am going to get the cheaper model, so I don't lose as much when that happens and I want to upgrade.

          What Hitler thinks of the iPad. Yes, this movie clip has been used to death now, but this is still pretty funny.

          Warning some NSFW language.

          You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

            Here's a flashback for you. This was what the reaction was when the iPod came out in 2001.

                Remeber those stupid LCD watches that played Pac-man back in grade school?

                I Dreamed oh how I dreamed .

                And it came , and I waited , then I upgraded.

                Then they added a stylus and junk and now I could care less.

                I am happy with my Gameboy Color Advance SP ! ( Except I had to get an adapter handle because it's too small for my hands)

                A portable rechargeable light up game system that has interchangable cartigages!

                I can slip in Activision Anthology and play my entire collection of old Atari games! plus with the Game Cube adapter I can play the games on my Televison. AND it's backward compatable to the 1980s! I regularly play Tertris 1989 .

                I have that precious precious gift so rare in the world today. I am SATISFIED with what I already have!

                Thats about the only tech thing I dreamed of. And rocketpacks. But the way people drive I'll just stick to my bicycle and 93 pickup truck.
