It really does amaze how many people I see that are ignorant to technology. Overall, we are not a tech savvy nation except for maybe when it comes to smartphones. But still, I always get surprised when people ask me if they can play blu-rays on a regular DVD player. Or if they can just plug in a cable line on their new HDTV. I tell them they can but it won't be HD and the picture won't look good. Then they tell me "Well what's the point of getting a HDTV then?" I tell them "Listen, to get HD, you either need a cable or satellite box or you can watch your locals in HD with a TV antenna for free" They tell me that they don't want to deal with either one and I have to tell them tough because the days of hooking up just a basic cable line are pretty much over. Again, it just amazes me. No wonder the VCR hasn't died completely and that we're still selling DVD/VCR combos.
