Daily Life Update

Recently I changed my cable services.  I left Wowway for ATT's UVerse at a 33% reduction in price and a 50% increase in features.  I now have such abilities as pausing a TV show I am watching, have phone messages appear on my television, record multiple programs at the same time, and see the majority of television in high def.  I realize most people already have these features but I am new to this technology and you'll have to excuse me if I marvel at this for a while.  With thirty or forty simple clicks of the remote control I can pull up on my television screen the current weather in my neighborhood.  I can know if its raining without having to look out a window.  Isn't a high tech lifestyle wonderful?
