One Will Get You Two

In the old days…(you know, before technology guided our lives) the saying was “two heads are better than one”. Well, it looks like Sharp TV has just changed that to “two TV pictures are better than one”. Sharp Corporation has developed a liquid crystal display that shows totally different images depending on the angle from which you view it. Look from the left see CSI Miami…look from the right watch CSI New York. Why would someone want this?…As an example, Sharp says one person can be surfing the Internet while another is watching a movie (I can hear that conversation…Left Side: "Wow, what a price on these tickets to Florida"; Right Side: "Duck Rambo duck!”) This two-way viewing angle LCD is going into mass production this month…and will cost twice as much as a regular TV(sounds fair to me…get twice as many pictures…pay twice as many dollars). I can hear the TV Ad now…"it’s two, two sets in one”. There is one problem with the two-picture TV…if you stand in the middle you see parts of both pictures(seriously)…Just imagine, you might see Ray Ramano being thrown off the Survivor Island…Or Dan Rather on Fox News…or Tom Brady throwing to Alex Rodriguez (today that sounds better than letting Schilling do it). I usually like to try and think of ways new advances in technology can be used to improve the registry…In this case I think I’m stumped.
