TECHNO
THRILLS
WATCH WHATEVER WHENEVER
I
am, as you know, a big fan of ROKU (we have 3 in use). This
announcement of their newest unit, however, made me wonder—will Roku be in business two years from now?
My son just bought a new "Smart"
television that streams stuff the way ROKU, X-BOX and other devices
do. ROKU have bundled together a wide range of product (like
Amazon,
HULU, etc), but that's only a convenience, not an asset. Still,
there
is a definite trend. Cable,
satellite companies are losing record numbers of subscribers.
Some of this "cord-cutting" is due to the economy, but others,
"cord-frayers," are people who just want to take control of what they
watch (which is almost certainly what our current government would also
like to do). I could do without Cable TV altogether, but Mo Sup (Mother
Superior) NEEDS it.
All this means nothing of course, since after Baby Kim
Twat Sung, or some like-minded terrorist like Obama, hits us with EMP, or
an Executive Order, we'll be reading the Sears
catalog in the outhouse for entertainment. And it'll be a
damned old Sears catalog at that..
