You cant wait for everyone to jump on board, technology is a moving train that stops for noone. Jump on board or find another hobby.

The record to cd comparison doesn't really work. The move to CD's didn't entail any kind of reliance on anything (except electricity and a new CD player) I can play music CD's in the exact same manner as I could records, anytime I want, no restrictions.

In 2005 Hurricane Wilma hit south Florida and knocked my power out for 5 days, but it was a full 3 weeks before I had Internet access back. So to pass the time, only thing I could do on the pc was... play some games (Civ 4 had just come out, so I was happily occupied). Under your 'new world' playing games would not have been an option.
Of course, I could still listen to my music CD's with no problem or my old vinyl records on my usb turntable, and that's where your analogy fails. Requiring a constant Internet connection to play a single player game is not a feature or "something better"... |
