Order stuff from Amazon and have it arrive on your doorstep 2 days later? See cars drive by that don't use any gas? Watch HDTV or a 80" flat screen? Record 5 satellite channels simultaneously while you are away and watch the play back just like it's live? Things change. It really should not be surprising when folks discussing that they take advantage of these changes.
