It's an amazing, reoccurring story of American life: the unique and novel becomes commonplace, and then waste for the landfill. Good examples of this include the automobile, the television, the transistor radio, VCRs, and now, the DVD player.
Who would have thunk that someday we'd all be trying to find out where to throw away a machine that, at its heart, generates laser beams? I mean, really: laser beams, the stuff of science fiction and of James Bond movies.
But, there it sits on my back porch, dumped in a box along with the remains of last night's pizza.
Amazing...
