Perhaps more than any other component in media history -- save the PC itself -- the DVD has finally eclipsed the VCR as the modern media device of choice. Huzzahs to the DVD player!!!
Of course, as our broadband connections get bigger and better, there's a looming replacement for the DVD on the horizon: DVF. Direct Video Feed is becoming a back-channel term among the technocrats and digerati who predict that our fiber and twisted-pair copper will soon be delivering video on demand, from a gargantuan library.
So, celebrate your day in the sun, DVD... But, don't invest too heavily in the DVD collection. Someday soon, you may order your movies just like your music from Napster or iTunes.
DVF -- coming soon to a home near you!!!
