No, not quite that severe yet. But NPR had a brief sound bite two weeks ago about how they want to get out of the business of shipping those pesky DVD's back and forth soon (Two or three years?); I've noticed when updating my que at the local public library that they keep trying to direct me to the "Watch it Now" streaming video.
Gee folks, I DON'T HAVE high speed internet access at my house. And have no prospect of such, the "Last Mile" problem (Actually, about two miles from a "better" subdivision). It's the bundled cable service (Which I can't afford) or nothing.
I've enjoyed it, but this is just another symptom of our overstressed infrastructure and bankrupt urban planning process. Streaming video may very well be the future in affluent neighborhoods, but what about the rest of us?
(As a follow up to the previous post, it's usually about twenty four hours or so before the county makes the first pass with a plow and salt on my street when it snows) I'm three miles "Back in the woods" from the main highway.
