Knowing When it is Time to Change










My family keeps twisting my arm to get a new TV. They have all bought new TVs in the past two years so I imagine they still have the fever. I really do not see a point until 2009 when the signal goes digital, even then I might just take the rebate and get a box. So I have resisted for the past years explaining a new TV is a luxury not a necessity.

This works for the most part, then as I was driving I had to chuckle when I realized that I was behind the icons. The icon for the TV has changed. My rabbit ears gone from the picture. It was like watching the changing telephone icons, only to go over to my grandmothers and realizing she missed decades of design changes.

So this has me thinking about icon evolutions. Already the light bulb is changing, but what else?
