This lovely little article was on my Yahoo homepage. http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/108504/10-things-not-to-buy-in-2010
I know Yahoo is pretty bad for there reporting skills and what not, but this is just ridiculous.
The average DVD is $20? Where is she shopping.
She tries to argue that external hard drives are a thing of the past and not to buy, then completely argues the other way in the very next sentence stating how much online backup services are.
CD's? This is actually something I like to see. I'm a semi music nut and most of the time I still like to have the physical copy of the CD. I stopped illegally downloading music years ago as it defeats the purporse. I choose to support the artist so they can continue to make music. The online aspect of music has just opened more avenues for people. But people wanting a physical copy, she might be right about that one.
College students shouldn't be buying new textbooks? Kind of hard when they come out with a new edition every other freaking year.
I just found this article so....wrong on many different levels. It's like she was late for a report and just combined several articles from several different sources to make this one.
