What will my kids remember?

I grew up in the 1980s with a tv that was encased in wood and had 12 numbers on a turn dial knob. I was excited when Atari, Intellivision, Beta and VHS came out.  The sounds of Space Invaders and Frogger are still quite clear in my head.  Now all of these systems have been replaced by certainly more impressive systems.

When it comes to computers, phones and software...some of my friends might call me a nerd. I truly love to see how I can use new technology in my business. BUT when it comes to television - I'm slow to catch up. My excuse is that I don't watch much television.

Recently on a trip to Best Buy I was shocked by the slashed prices on flat screen televisions. Then recently while computer shopping online I noticed that Sony was about to launch their Internet ready television which comes with a mini keyboard.  Apple has a similar product - AppleTv.  These Internet televisions intrigue me  - I can't wait to try them out.

It makes me wonder though - When my kids are my age... what technology will be obsolete?
