For your viewing pleasure

I am writing this short blog on the merits of having the must have gadgets of any household, typically in society the wants outweigh the needs and never has this been more apparent in today's age. The CES (Consumer Electronics Show) held in Las Vegas showcases the latest devices that will be coming out on the market or already in stores, electronics plays a big deal in American way of life.

The TV has been a staple of the living room for decades and it is hard to find a house without one or two of these devices, in fact my husband's boss who has no kids has around 5 TV's in his house, dare I say overkill. The "Tele" as it is called in the UK has changed a lot, gone are the days where the back of the TV was huge and very cumbersome, also picture quality has improved to a great deal with 1080p resolution and screen sizes reaching up to whopping 52".

Enough of the song and dance about the TV and may I present " For your viewing pleasure", our 32" LCD TV by Samsung that we loaned via Bill Me Later without using plastic card. The reason that we bought this TV was because we had moved to this apartment from Jersey about a year and a half ago and we survived without the TV, we basically lived a very humble lifestyle and watched our favorite shows in the PC, after they had been aired. We also decided to buy one because of the xbox 360 that husband's co-workers gave him for Christmas.



Now that we have this TV the next options would be the HTS (Home Entertainment System) and the Blu Ray player, suffice it to say these would have to wait hopefully not another 15 months, also my husband would like to have another TV but slightly larger so thats all for now folks.

come to think of it, we have 7 TVs here and there are only 5 people here including my toddler. I dont think its really healthy to have a lot of tv. dont you think so?

I remembered reading somewhere or hearing somewhere that apparently a very popular and rich household of a celebrity only has 1 tv for the main reason that she wants to monitor her kids activities on TV, i would love to adapt that especially if I decide to raise my toddler here in this kind of very very influential country. dont you think so?
