Connected

OK, let's see, Facebook for personal stuff, LinkedIn for business stuff and my Wii connects to the Internet for entertainment. Now I find out that my Blue Ray DVD player will be connected to the Internet and it will be able to download firmware upgrades as well as different content pieces as the technology matures. Of course I can also talk to my DVR from anywhere across the internet and record shows for later viewing.

I am in the technology field and not much suprises me these days but the explosion of the Internet and the variety of applications that it holds is becoming truly astounding. Quite frankly, the things I have mentioned here are perhaps some of the more visible but clearly not the most remarkable.

This weekend I get to set up my new TV and connect it with the surround sound system and the Wii and the Blue Ray just in time for the Super Bowl. Gotta love technology.
