In this day and age,  it’s a wonder anyone sits down to watch television as it’s being aired anymore.

With the advent of Tivo Digital Video Recorders, online streaming through sites like Hulu.com, and the iTunes store, young people like myself have begun to ditch their cable bill for a more unwired alternative.  It’s given new spark to the old term, “Time Shifting,” which is essentially when a someone records a program for later. It’s what I do when I listen to the podcast of Marketplace every morning on my way to work, and it’s what my girlfriend does when she watches 30 Rock on the web — all 100 percent legal and, most importantly, convenient!
