RE: Technology adoption

Posted by Jack G on June 30, 2007 at 06:24:47:
I have to agree. The other and probably most important reason to adopt a new technology, is convenience. DVDs were also accepted because they were convenient. They were easy to handle, and easy to store. No rewinding, and no big bulky tapes to take up space. Many if not most people didn't get video libraries until DVDs came along. VHS took up too much space. look at the i-pod.readily acceptedbecause of the comvenience. Yes, part of the HD scenario, is so the studios can make more money off of us.
