Now here's a strange thing that I keep thinking about.  When I graduated high school a number of years ago (I'll tell you it's more than 20 and less than 40) we were using TV's as computer screens.  As I flip through channels today I noticed that the big thing now, and has been for a while, is being able to get the internet on your TV.  We used to say that only fashion came circling back around but now it seems like technology is too.  Now this does happen to be with a different twist, but it seems to me that as we enter new stages of technology the old ones creep back in for a bit in a new fashion.
This back to the eighties thing isn't just in the big screen you know.  Pac-Man and Pong also resurfaced a few times with the cult following and the awe swept gasp of the youth.  It has to make me wonder just what our children and grandchildren will be looking at doing in 20+ years.  Will the Wii have a comeback, or the PSP be in the museums?  Oh what does the future hold?
