subject: Digital Video Recording And Its Innovative Role In Technology [print this page] I still remember when I first saw an ad in a technology magazine for something called a Digital Video Recorder. I thought to myself, this will never work, how on Earth can you manage to store hours of films on something called a hard drive? It just seemed that tapes and cassettes were always going to be around.
Great idea I remember thinking to myself. No more running out of tapes all the time, no more having to fish around with fast forward and rewind options to try to find the program that I wanted to watch.
There was also the beauty of being able to record a television show automatically, even when you were not in the house, and that the quality was just as good as if you were watching the original show, as everybody knows the tapes did tend to get a little worn and the picture could become very unclear at times.
But like anything else this new, this technology came at a price. The first DVR units were selling for around $1000.00, and unfortunately this was a bit out of my price range; I had to wait a couple of years before the price finally dropped before I could afford to buy my first DVR.
Bu in the end it was well worth the wait, my life was made so much easier by the introduction of the new Digital Video Recorder.
Now you can get even more programs on the hard drives, and this is because the hard drives just keep getting bigger and better.
Funnily enough it seems a long time ago when the DVR was first introduced, but it was not that long ago really. But just like more recent inventions such as the cell phone it is hard to imagine life without my DVR.
I am just so glad that I decided to buy that first Digital Video recorder, it have been an invaluable addition to my house.
