His TV? Rabbit ears all the way. I keep telling him the FCC is gonna make him at least buy a converter in February. He'll deal with that when he has to...or stop watching TV. He has DVD instead of VHS only because I bought him a player as a gift a few Christmas' back.

I have caught him eyeballing the G1 Google phone though. Currently he has some simple nokia voice only jobbie....i dont think it even has a camera, but he does text a little bit.

I just wonder if there's more of him or more of me out there. Likely the majority of the populace lives some place inbetween.

Well, I did find this article, which indicates that even urban populations aren't fully high-speed, and this demonstrating totals of populations as a whole. I've not got time to fiddle with the math fully, but... Looks like bigger chunks than we think about fall into "not really all that upgraded."
