As fallacious arguments go, this is impressive. 20 years ago, nobody knew of SMS messages. 30 years ago satellite TV was limited to uber-geeks; now it's considered just another form of cable. All luxury cars come with satellite radio, MP3 player connections and ripping hard drives too. Online video streaming hadn't been invented, and yet we have it built into our BluRay players and our AppleTV or Roku; you can buy Roku or a similar Sony box, your choice, at any Costco. The relevant consumers (i.e. spend money) have an Amazon account and are learning of all this type of stuff.

Go on, pull the other, it's got bells on.
