My Terrific DVD Player Tale

|

By James Q. Juniper

I went shopping with a couple of buddies of mine last week. It was this absolutely huge electronics shop. We were just looking around at all the cool stuff. I didn't expect to buy anything, just a way to kill a Saturday afternoon when you don't have anything to do. I think I remember my friend saying he wanted one of those new electric scooters or something. What changed my mind completely was when I saw what they had for sale.

There were these awesome DVD players, that seemed like they were portable or something. I had always thought you needed to plug your DVD player into your TV at home or something. But not these amazing little pieces of advanced technology. They weren't very big, kind of the same size as those electronic dictionaries you see foreign exchange students carrying around with them all the time. Naturally, this included the screen also. You really didn't need to plug it into anything else. At first I thought they wouldn't be that great, because you would still have to plug them in.

But that thought was killed instantly as the helpful sales clerk explained to me that they ran from batteries. And some of them can last several hours on a single charge. I started to imagine all the possibilities. I could to sit in the park and watch movies, or go to the library and pretend to study, all the while watching my favorite DVDs. This was wonderful. Hold on a second. Wouldn't the sound from my DVD player bother all the people who were around me and trying to study or something?

That's when I discovered another wonderful thing about these wonderful little devices. Quite a few of these DVD players come with headphone jacks. That means you can plug in and listen in total privacy. You wouldn't bother anybody else. And if you were somewhere like Starbucks or the public library, any background noise wouldn't bother you at all. But just as I was about to pick one up for purchase, I was hijacked yet again by my imagination. Surely these DVD players must be several hundred, or even a thousand dollars.

This is where I was delivered the most startling revelation I have ever heard. They were just barely over a hundred dollars, and some were even less than that! I probably have that much money on the floor in my car. But of course, in these modern times, most stores accept major credit cards. Naturally, I picked one model that suited me, and made my way to the cashier. I have never looked back and have enjoyed my DVD player to this very day.
