Grumble! Grumble!
My father was a geek. In the 1920's before geeks. The "bees knees" for geeks in high school before there were geeks, was the "Crystal Set". They were homemade from a small crystal encased in lead, an antenna and ground wire, a wire to poke the crystal, headphones and wire rapped around what was handy to serve as a capacitor.
It was portable, needed no power source, and my father could listen to it in the tree house, the garage out back, in the cellar, or pull the covers over his head at night when he went to bed.
Later, my grandfather bought the family a "Superheterodyne Radio" with glowing pregnant vacuum tubes and filled his home with the outside world.
A country cousin of mine had a neighbor walk five miles to his home every Sunday afternoon to listen to Toscanini and the New York Philharmonic. It was Magical! Unbelievable!
What? The iPad is just a big iPod!
Grumble! Grumble! Ah! Progress: "The Smart Phone" The strongest muscles in our face are now our squint muscles.
Bigger is better —much better. and as Steve Jobs said, "very intimate."
There is a sleeper here. It's the Video Podcast.
What are the possibles??????
A Video Podcasting Orson Wells will show us the way. So, pull the covers over your head.
From my tub to yours,
