Few pieces of technology have really made an astounding impact on human civilization. The wheel, aviation, the assembly line, and for a few years the DVR.

 This may not be the most earth shattering announcement but I am compelled to write it only because I love the DVR! The efficiency of the recording, except when your show runs long and you didn’t set the extend timer b/c that will screw up other planned recordings.  But, that’s only a small setback.

 I am a more attentive husband. I can simply pause and listen to what my wife has to say instead of nodding. In cases where she is in another part of the house I can either pause and listen or use the old standby of turning up the volume.

 I am a more attentive father. The sudden entrance of a child during a shoot-em up movie or a movie with questionable content can be avoided an watched when little eyes can be changed forever. Also, no yelling to be quiet when the game is on the line. Only a simple press of the pause button, look at whatever item they want to show you and they leave instead of 5 minutes of yelling and missing the winning bucket.

 There’s more reasons I love and I’ll post soon.
