For those of us whom are new to this whole technology thing it seemed like a pretty valid concern. Lack of interest and therefore lack of working knowledge does not mean lack of intellect, it simply means we are not interested enough to try it. But if you are so "smart" why don't you catch everyone up on exactly how to stream videos.

Thanks for the headsup. It really makes sense to take note of the direction of technology and its effect on business before you jump into a startup. This was a great post…

I am talking about on-demand digital cable. Last time I checked, they offer on-demand movies for $3 - 4 dollars and they offer them in high definition that is just as good as the HD-DVDs. Make sure you know what I'm talking about before you call me stupid. Danny,

Internet connections will not be even close to realistically streaming high definition video any time soon. And by the time they can, TV's will be capable of viewing much higher resolutions in current "high definition" and thus connections will never catch up to video technology. Remember, the majority of the population is not savvy enough to setup a media streaming theatre system. Anyone who believes the garbage you just wrote is probably not smart enough to stream video anyways, so I think the high definition video market is safe for now.

Travel agencies that offer high end services have felt much less pain than ones that book simple and cheap trips. CD stores that specialize in classical music would have more of a chance than ones focusing on top-40 hits.

I am talking about brick-and-mortar video stores. This aspect of the industry is being phased out. Blockbuster is obviously smart enough and big enough to realize this and adapt to change. They will probably survive, but there stores may not. T-mobile, I am talking about "mom and pop" grocery stores and pharmacies. These stores are being overrun by walgreens, CVS, drug mail-in plans, and the biggest killer of them all, SUPER WALMART. Yuck. I used to work at an independent pharmacy, and it was a great place. People received individual care and counseling from pharmacists. The only reason the pharmacy survived is because it was one of the first on the block and its loyal customer base kept it going.

The whole buy your groceries online hasn't exactly taken off. However, drug vending machines are taking off where they have been placed thus far in California. I'd say watch the pharmacy business but I believe the grocery business is here to stay for awhile. Maybe I am missing something but how are grocery and drug stores being phased out?

You are right though in the fact that these traditionally older businesses can maintain themselves operating the same way they did 10 years ago.
