Modern miracles

I may have given the impression (HERE and HERE) that modern technology is more trouble than it's worth. Now that my iPhone is up and running, and Sky finally made good their promise to install a Sky+ box in my home, I would like to say that the iPhone is the best toy I have ever had. It is truly scrumptious.

Sky+ too is a modern miracle. It may not be as aesthetically pleasing as an iPhone, but I predict that it will have a greater impact on my life because it really does liberate you from the tyranny of the TV programmers.

Sure, videos and DVDs have been around for yonks and do a similar job, but I can't tell you how easy Sky+ is to use. I have just seen the future - and for a Luddite like me, it works.
