Ode to LCDs

Can anything outshine a large LCD screen? 14 inches is cute, 15.4 inches is readable, but 17 inches, what a delight. Laptop, how your glossy face dazzles the eyes, and envelopes the senses! Full sized LCD, may your descendants grow in stature beyond the 30in limit! Child's hands adjusted my first cathode ray tube. A teenager's touch graced his first flat screen monitor. And now two man hands desire a infinite LED plane. 


Why such a large monitor? First reason, because I can buy one. Second reason; is a bachelor pad beautiful? Does it demand praise? A single man's apartment demands at most, a sneeze, if not a fart. With such drab decor plaguing the walls, a digital landscape soothes the soul. 6 Different chat windows, 3 word processing panels, an army of spreadsheet cells; is there any disadvantage?

Are video games an enveloping experience? Electronic entertainment, addicting? Only portrayed on larger-than-life screens. Only idiots succumb to small weenie windows. So why lob your gaze on small portions of the digital age, when you can jump in!
