ANALOG to DiGiTAL

The analog to digital change has affected my life in a positive way. No more cassette tapes, or crappy looking and sounding (not to mention BULKY) VHS movies, no more tripping over the long phone cord that stretches all over the house.Now we have Cd's, ipods, DVDs, cordless phones, cell phones and devices with more memory that we can handle. With the introduction of analog into media, directors have been able to make movies that they never thought they would be able to bring to life and Musicians can record at home just as easy and effectively as if they where in a studio. I like the idea of digital media, because instead of my finger going numb from holding down the rewind button on my walk man just to skip a song, i can now skip it with the press of one button on my ipod. Or instead of rewinding every movie that i rent from blockbusters, i can just put it in the box and bring it back. the analog-digital change is good and needed. Even though when DVD players came out they where 150-200$, if you need one, now they are basically giving them away... and if u don't want to buy all of your favorite cassette tapes or VHS, or even vinyl records all over again, don't worry... there are converters that you can buy to change everything. Some people would rather choose the richness of the voices on vinyl or the "reliability" of an Anolog phone what ever it is, vs the convience of all Digital devices, but "To each his own."
