VHS- RECYCLE THE WORLD!!!

You know what? VHS tapes are OUT, they're gone, get rid of them. Don't feel too bad if you still have them though, cuz I have a feeling DVD's won't be around as long as the ancient VHS. In this current day of Tivo-like innovations, I have a feeling movies and such will no longer be in the physical form but all digital. Tivo has announced that the new model will be able to send shows and movies to other Tivo sets via internet. This could be the new way we purchase things; buying movies through our internet-connected TVs and onto a digital hard drive. When you want things to be portable, movies can be transfered to tiny digital camera-like computer chips. I mean after all, DVD's are much smaller and less annoying than big ole video tapes, but even then there is still the risk of damaging them very easily with just a tiny scratch. It only makes sense that movies and other media should be available on little chips. ANYWAY back to VHS. Did you notice how they gently slid VHS out of our lives? It first started where a new movie would be available on "Home Video and DVD" then it became "DVD and Video" and now it has become "Own it on DVD rent it on video" It's like they're almost embarrassed to say that it's available on video tape.

Anyway, a final thought on this subject is this: It is now time to MOVE OAIN (on). If you haven't made the change yet, DO IT, it's simple and easy. The best way to completely move on and have closure is to get rid of those VHS's. You can do this a number of ways. Donate to your local GoodWill store (which I dont even know if THEY want VHS anymore), throw them in the trash, or give them to me to sell on Ebay. OK, I'm done. BYE

PS. Keep your Disney Videotapes though. They could be worth money, and not all Disney Classics are available on DVD just yet.
