Mad Money Machine

by Paul Douglas Boyer

Day Break is online

On show 50, I said ABC’s Day Break show was gone. Now I see that it is available online. Sheeh, more stuff to consume. What are we do to with all this media? Day Break, Prison Break, 24, Heroes, American Idol, Netflix, podcasts, RSS feeds, XBOX 360 and PGR 3, FIFA 07, Madden 07, Gears of War, Zuma, Wall Street Journal, email, Mad Money, and of course Mad Money Machine.

Really now, this is getting out of control. Way out of control and there is no sign it will get any better any time soon if ever.

Oh yeah I almost forgot: Also an hour of homework per stock per week.

A three-full-page ad in WSJ today for Microsoft Windows Vista says:

The digital world is a beautiful thing.

There is an endless supply of more.
More music. More videos. More...stuff.

It's exciting (and a little overwhelming).

The thing is, managing all this stuff is
getting more complicated.

Music and pictures. E-mail and blog feeds.
JPEGs and PDFs everywhere.

We want all this stuff, but we want it simplified.

So. What if everything could become
instantly streamlined, easy to navigate,
and who knows, even more fun?

To which I way, yeah, but when would we ever have the time to consume it all? What we need is a way to do it faster.
