New VCR technology

I was reading over the blog description for the course, and got some ideas on where to go with my next blog. It has always amazed me how much media technology has changed. When I was a child my family owned a record player and several VCRs. I never would have imagined that a decade later we would have DVDs and CDs and everything else is almost impossible to find. What led me to write this blog was learning that you can now take all your VCRs and put them on to DVDs to watch. I just learned about this new technology over the weekend, and think its crazy that it can be done. I was excited because we have many childhood tapes, and no longer own a VCR. Now we can watch our memories on DVDS! I felt this tied in with the class because I started watching some of the VHSs recently and in the background of the movies on our household tv was President George Bush Senior and Michael Jackson. It was funny to see how much the times have changed and how different the news looked then.
