  • Back when Tivos came out, it was hard to get some people to see the value.
    • "I already have a VCR, so I can already record things I care about."
    • But Tivos made it many orders of magnitude easier to "record."
    • The value of orders of magnitude of friction reduction are impossible for us to imagine.
      • So much so that even when friends enthusiastically tell us about it we don't believe them.
    • But once you use it, you get it, and you couldn't imagine not using it.
