Since I came home from work at 6:30 we have been watching TV. We are like children with a new toy. First we watched a baseball game while eating dinner, and saw Tampa Bay win their series. At 8:00 Antiques Roadshow was up, and now we are watching Boston trying to win their series. The picture is so much clearer than our old TV that it is now worth watching. I wonder if we function better today that we did 21 years ago. This TV we bought is just great. We love it. Here was the drill. Our set was not acting right, so we decided to buy a new one. Ken looked up, on line, the Consumer Report, to check their recommendation. Ken ordered the set he chose on line, from Best Buy. Ken spoke to them once, to confirm that they will take our old set , but the rest of the negotiations and arrangements were on the computer. The time for delivery was given to us over the telephone. Today, promptly at noon, the TV was delivered and installed, and our old set was taken away to the land of old TVs. We are happy. No shopping trips. No fuss and muss. Just one great TV.
Ken commented to me that it reminded him of the olden days, when his Mother would call the grocery store and the food would be delivered. If she was away, they would put the groceries in the refrigerator. Now it is even better, in that you do not even need to talk to anyone. All that needs to be done is to place your order on line, pay for it on line, and then wait until the set is delivered and installed. It is a return to the past, only better. It is a grand time.
