Feb. 18th paper: Do You Even Need to Leave Your Car?

Technology is such a fast developing industry I can barely keep up. After reading "Television That Streams, Even if Traffic Doesn't" I began to wonder if futuristic views such as the Jetsons are not that far off.
Qualcomm, the same company that is trying to push cell phones as the next tool for students, has a subscription service called Flo TV which they are trying to get into cars so families can watch broadcast TV anywhere and anytime.
I personally think this is ridiculous..we are in the car to drive, maybe listen to music and talk...not lay back and watch our favorite shows. While I am impressed with the advancements in the technology industry, I think a lot of the advancements are so unnecessary and take away from people communicating one on one rather than through text or email.
