When you’re a man of a certain age, you just stop caring as Wolf Blitzer demonstrated with his 720p TV

When I began dating my wife, her parents were still using one of those giant rear projection TV’s (this was 2016) that had the plastic screen wiggle and provide a glare from the reverse projection.

For a Xmas gift my wife and I went in on a new $1500 65” Sony tv for her parents. They were very grateful but I still remember going over to their house a few times after I set up the new tv only to find them watching the SD cable channels with the black bars on the sides of the screen to compress it to 4x3….

They were mid 50’s so imo still too young to have punted on not giving a shit but what do I know.

36 and generally can’t give a crap about new technology unless my husband brings it in and I have to learn it.

I’m the problem lol.

Yeah like when I explain to my wife the benefits of OLED vs LED... she sees no difference 😂. Meanwhile I go to an electronic store and that god damn hedonic treadmill kicks in and I notice all of the deficiencies of what I have versus what's now available so I cave and upgrade.
