Why do I love sports so much?  A sporting event is the ultimate reality show. They were reality shows years before reality shows existed. No actors, no yelling “CUT!” no do-overs. What you see is what you get.  Entertainment in its purest form.

That brings me to this year's Super Bowl. Watched by over 106 million people worldwide, it is the most watched television program EVER.  This was a great football game as well as a spectacular display of technology.  The way we watch the Super Bowl keeps getting more and more amazing.  This Super Bowl was being filmed by more than 50 HD cameras (http://bit.ly/cX2R3L ) and that is just the tip of the iceberg.  I am sure cameras in the stadium for both still and video photography numbered in the hundreds of thousands, if you include all the mobile devices.

The question that is always raised is “How can it get any better than this”?  Every generation is more advanced than their predecessors.  Many future enhancements cannot even be fathomed right now. We have every slow motion replay, from every angle, not to mention the on screen animation that we hardly notice anymore.  Seemingly, every technological and communication need is being met right now.

What more can be done to enhance the experience?  This question is shared by technology enthusiasts as well.  When I first had a 128 MB thumb drive in my hand I thought that nothing could be better.  Or remember the first time you loaded software from a CD?  We were going from 1.44 MB floppies to 650 MB CDs!  You looked at both and thought “There are 450 of those in there?”

That is why we stay tuned to advancements in technology as it relates to any industry or walk of life.  It helps satiate our curiosity and continually answers the question…What will they think up next?  For their 10-year anniversary with the company, RTTS gets all employees a Movado watch.  Maybe I’ll be able to watch the Super Bowl on it by the time my 10 year comes around.
