What's the big deal?

ANALOG VS. DIGITAL



We talked about this briefly today in my marketing fundamentals class. I posed the idea that the switch from analog to all things digital helped companies increase their profits because the necessity of having to buy either a new televison or a converter. Someone even mentioned that some people will have to buy new video cameras to produce shows.

Personally, I think that the switch is pointless. I mean, yes it breaks the images down faster, but it compromises sound. I think it's just a way for the media industries to make more money on new tvs or new technology.

That goes back to the innovation of the BlueRay Disc....come on! Just stick to the freakin DVDs! I understand the need for new technology, but when it comes to making people buy something to be able to watch tv I think that is crossing the line.

Okay, all for now.
