A couple years later and I have a flat screen LCD TV sitting right here in this room.
this goes back to my o.g post and what some people in the thread don't understand. Technology gets cheaper with production and revisions and your examples with the flat screens are dead on. the first hdtv was still big ass tube tv's but the picture quality was superb at the time and over time the tv's got smaller and you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to even have the top of the line flat screen now in days. Hell they are making flat screens now with the depth of an folder now but the point is this kind of tech needs to be out of the road for the long term r&d to make the tech better. The volt wasn't meant to be the most fuel efficient car its meant to use alternate energy in the most efficient way and maybe if the car sells decently the tech will get cheaper and better and everyone would be happy. But seriously some of you guys just need to step away from your political parties views and look at the bigger picture. I know some of you guys don't want to give up your v8's maybe this could keep them in the market a little bit longer. think about it.
