We've now made the plunge into the world of the flat screen television. My wife and I are two decades behind everyone else and are lost and alone against the backdrop of something too slick to grab onto, too technical for us to fathom. No longer do we have that warm and fuzzy feeling like in days of old when our television set was our wonderland and the most important object in the room. Thank goodness we still have our sofa or we might be sucked into a twilight zone of surround sound and anonymous airwaves.
