More New Media

I forgot to post one other form of new media: satellite radio.  There’s another $13 out of your pocket each month.

The cost of connectivity

Old Media:

• Newspaper
• Cable/Dish
• Telephone

New Media:

• Internet
• Cell phone
• data plan
• messaging
• blogs (that cost you $$)
• etc.

The costs are not going to go down, at least not noticeably. How is a person to pay for it all? I guess a guy could get rid of the newspaper (use the internet), home phone (go with a cell), television (watch stuff on the internet). Then, in theory, you could do all of that from your phone. But I don’t want to do that! What is a guy to do? I’ll just rant and rave. Up next - the exorbitant price of a cell plan (remember when it used to cost $19.99 for 350 minutes? Those days are long gone…).
