More Big Screens, Please.

A recent report highlighted the jump in sales for ultra big screen televisions.  Televisions 50 inches and up now account for 25% of all sales.  Screens 65 inches and greater have seen a 69% boost over the past year.

All of this news had me a bit concerned… Is my screen large enough?  No one wants word to get out that his screen is disappointingly small.  This was all very disconcerting, indeed.

It was true, seemingly everywhere I looked there were more screens and they were getting bigger and bigger.  In Reno, Nevada, the Grand Sierra Resort is currently working on a nine story screen on it’s outside wall.  Sports stadiums are now dominated by humungo sized televisions.  Go to a Cowboys game and watch it on the big screen, because, well, it kind of obstructs the view of the field.  Apparently with the new X-Box I can play video games and watch television at the same time, which I’ll certainly do… because… I really like to party…??  What used to be mobile phones are now pocket computers ensuring that you could never be left without a screen, provided it stays charged.  So called tablets allow you to drop the pretense and just carry around a screen because it is both convenient and cool.

Could I be facing down the prospect of having a screen situation on my hands?  Was my lifestyle screen deficient?

Left with seemingly not enough screens to properly process all of this potential data I turned to trusted expert Marvin Mc Dermitt, Chairman for the Council for More Screens in More Places (CMSMP).  He highlighted some important and helpful information about screens that you might not commonly know.

Screens make your life easier, they are there to help you in every imaginable way.  Just look around you.  What wouldn’t be better with a screen?  Screens are what the future looks like.  Screens do the work for you.

Seriously, you need to integrate more screens into your life. 

In order to improve yourself, think about the places that you currently are not using screens to their full potential.

Cars are the perfect places for screens.  Do you have any idea how many people seriously injure themselves straining their necks to look behind them while backing out?  Off the top of my head, neither do I, but I’m sure it’s a lot.  Now with screens in the car you never have to look where you are going again.

Try out the new beeping screen.  With the new beeping screen no need to even watch the screen, this will thus provide you for more time with your other personal screens.

Screens are a simple alternative to paying attention.  

With a screen you can take real life and make it seem a lot more like a movie.  With a screen you too can be on television.

Obey the screen.
Obey the screen.

In today’s fast pace world we all need time to unwind.  Take a screen break and immerse yourself in a screen.

Rotate your screens to ensure no lapse in screen power.  It may be necessary to have multiple screens on hand in case of emergency.

You can never have too many screens.  

When people see that you have screens they will immediately know that you have your finger on the pulse.

Sunsets + screens = might actually be better than the real thing. Really almost anything is better watched through a screen than watching it in person.  Screens make life better.  What good are once in a lifetime moments if you can’t take a picture of them?

My biggest fears were confirmed.  My phone is too dumb.  My television is too small.  My tablet is too… I don’t even have a tablet.  It’s all settled, I may be broke but new screens aren’t a cost, they’re an investment for the future.  Best Buy here I come.
