Tivo and other DVRs started the time-shift.  Why should I have to wait at home on a Wednesday night just to catch an episode of CSI.  Now Tivo records it for me and I watch at my leisure.  I&#8217;m in control of my time.<br \/>\nI contend that Place-shifting started before that.  Cell phones were the first place-shifting devices.  Why should I stay home on Saturday waiting for a call when I can take the phone with me wherever I go?

Collaborative online applications allow for us all to work on it simultaneously.  Niche interests are encourages by online social groups.  This started with mailing lists.  I have the freedom to discuss Fourteenth Century Tablet Weaving with a group of 50 people even though only one of them is within a 3 hour drive.  The Internet brought us together and allows us to exchange ideas and to collaborate on theories.<br \/>\nThe thing is&#8230; what&#8217;s the thing?

Just mulling it over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bandwidth Storage Space Processing Power As these become limitless it changes the way we work with computers.
