For those that don't want to stay current with NEW technology that attitude would have you still using a ROTARY PHONE and RABBIT EAR ANTENNAS.

I guess I don't see the problem. A rotary phone will make a call and rabbit ears will pick up local FREE digital programming.

I don't see it either. I like to keep up but only as much as it benefits me and is something I can use. I don't have to have the latest stuff to be content.
 

We aren't into the latest technology for-to-say, but do enjoy our Blu-Ray DVD Player, many-features Canon Digital Camera and Wii Game.
 
This timing of this thread is priceless. Just a week ago we cancelled my father-in-law's cable (the bill was going up 30% and he could never get the damn thing to work anyway). We replaced it with, wait for it, a brand new type of rabbit ears. They pull in local stations just fine. No more complicated set of steps for him to watch TV (tuning the TV to channel 3, then making sure the cable box was on, then hoping that when he changed the channel it was on the cable box and not the TV.) Can't tell you how many times I reprogrammed his remotes and TVs. Regardless of how many different "simple" remotes we bought, he couldn't get his TV to work for more than a couple of days.

Granted, this dear man has got a touch of Alzheimer's, but mos of us could identify with his TV challenge. He's delighted with the new rabbit ears, by the way. (He's even more thrilled to wave goodbye to the monthly cable bill.)
