Earlier this week I was out to lunch with a College Humor colleague. He happens to be the only Connected Ventures employee with a kid. We got talking about toys. He told me his son plays with Ghostbusters and Thomas the train. Has the toy industry really not done any innovation in the last 20 years to capture kid’s attention?

I was on the subway heading uptown to meet a friend and I saw a billboard for this new TV series about the Wizard of oz. From the billboard I gathered it would be about the other side (not Pink Floyd) of Oz. Maybe it’s about what the tin man’s favorite drink is, or that the lion was nailing Dorothy on the side? Either way, it’s interesting that so many years later that’s what people are still into.

Year after year the top rated rock and roll songs are from the 80’s. The coolest cars are from the 40’s to 70’s. People collect just about anything that’s old, it obvious that is has some value to someone. What it comes down to, is a lot of the things we grew up with are still awesome today. My question is, in 20 years will we look back at things from this time and think the same way? Because there a very few things that I have recently discovered that are leaving a lasting impression. But I will never forget the first time I got a plasma screen TV, it must have been a similar experience to what it was like to get a color TV.
