If I had a time machine and the ability to do this, and I could go back to 1991 and meet you and offer you Spotify (if you don't have Spotify, it basically gives you access to all major music ever recorded for $9.95 per month) and Netflix, how much cash would you be willing to give me for it per month?






* And let's assume that I'd give you some adapters that would allow you to watch your Netflix on your old 1991 TV, and you could listen to your Spotify subscription on your old 1991 boombox, walk-man, and car radio

Well by 1991, CD's were already the most common format I believe. And the pricing for a CD back then was similar to what it was today. It was around $15.00 for a full album.

That's a big difference in entertainment between now and then was not having YouTube or streaming if you missed something back then on tv, might never get a chance to watch it again. So in that sense its better. The hulu ninja commercial pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with modern technology. The couple are taking about finishing a show season when they are out to eat, then every time a ninja destroys a electronic device the guy pulls out another one. Man, just go outside or do something productive already :facepalm
