As the networks convert to 100% digital programming, and the Blue-Ray craze sweeps the nation one $30 disc at a time, I can't help but wonder if one day we'll look back on the previous era - the analog era, before television was all brutally crisp and "breathtakingly" sharp - and say, "ah, those were the days."

Will there be a market for "vintage television," much like there is now for vinyl, analog synthesizers, and tube amplification?

Will the "videofiles" and nostalgia-heads somehow expound the hidden advantages of lower-res movie watching? Or will doctors discover that overexposure to high concentrations of pixels actually causes cancer?

I'm holding on to my VCR, just in case.
