Well I guess I was looking at it from my point of view, as somebody who uses a computer to go onto the internet only.

The only two downloads I have is Mozilla Firefox (for browsing internet) and Avira anti-virus. That's it.

For others maybe there is valid reason, my apologies.

Id still be interested to know what things have got "bigger with no valid reason," in your opinion? I think it would be interesting to discuss.

Televisions for a start, it might be all well and good having a massive television but do you really NEED it ?

Don't think so.

I have a 42" Hitachi Plasma and that is the biggest I'm going. In my bedroom I have a 28" Toshiba CRT and I like it more actually.

Are you actually serious?? Look at the market forces in the last 10 years or so - game stations galore have pressured TV companies to go large. Then there's the Nintendo Wii system - I doubt you could do any of the fitness stuff they show on a box 14" TV. You might not need a massive TV but I don't find your opinion to offer a justifiable thought where validity is concerned.


 


MY generation and countless others born in the 1980s played outside, ran about in fields, climbed trees etc. Not todays generation who'd rather be stuck indoors when it rains and be glued to a massive TV with a games console.


 


The bigger TV also meant several brands went out of business with their home cinema systems, because of the push to make the domestic TV larger. It brought the price down compared to the bulkier systems and thus pressured other brands to do the same.


 


At least though in terms of TVs you do get to choose sizes.

I mostly watch movies--so a LARGE widescreen TV is a must for me-presently--57" RPTV.When it dies-will be replaced with an equivelant size plasma.And you can get even LARGER front screen projectors-image mostly limited by he size of the screen you are using.Heck,even if you have the money---$75K-$150K you could buy a digital cinema projector to use at home!All they are is a form of HD front projection system!Give Christie,Barco,NEC,or Sony a call.Note--you may need 3 Ph 208-240V to run the projection lamp.The rest of the projector can run from 120V.But you will have a HUGE HD picture!

My pet grieve of the opposite where things are getting smaller for no valid reason would be BOL microwaves with hopelessly small cavities. Also having to pay more just to have a grill fitted in them and then having to pay out more when the thing starts sparking because grease has attached itself to the hopeless cardboard magnetron cover, despite persistent water-only cleaning.
