"There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know." – Harry Truman
Most people would be familiar with the aforementioned quotation. The principle of recycling on most aspects of a person’s life would seem to be in fecundity. A simple example would be on the concept of television shows. The notion: “people like new shows which reminds of old shows,” seems to apply. I would have to smother the hatred against “Grey’s Anatomy” because it reminds me of my favorite show “Ally McBeal.”
To discuss the not so trivial things, it would be reasonable to talk about HD-DVD vs. Blu Ray. 2006 would seem to pave the way for these two different technologies. CD-WRITER.COM writes: “Blu-ray launched with the intention of dominating the Information Technology sector, where as HD-DVD aims to be dominant in the consumer products sector, essentially with audio-visual devices. Although neither of the formats have been released in the
Some people would remember this war as something germane. Remember, the VHS vs betamax War. Here is a synopsis: “Sony's Betamax video standard was introduced in 1975, followed a year later by JVC's VHS. For around a decade the two standards battled for dominance, with VHS eventually emerging as the winner.
The victory was not due to any technical superiority (Betamax is arguably a better format), but to several factors. Exactly how and why VHS won the war has been the subject of intense debate. The commonly-held belief is that the technically superior Betamax was beaten by VHS through slick marketing. In fact the truth is more complex and there were a number of reasons for the outcome.”
The anecdotes above would seem to corroborate the quotation. There is really nothing new. It is the same concept. “Same Script, Different Cast.” Here, Sony is still one of the casts, however, the technology would delve on the Generation Y people. Hence, this is another manifestation that there is nothing new in the world, only the unknown information that would certify a certain thing new. In the spirit of the New Year, THE GENERIC GREETING IS PRESENTED: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!
