What life would be like

So what would life be like if Captain Tech's lengthy trip through time had revived some of the best technology in the history of mankind?

Watching movies would be an amazing experience. Betamax would be back, so we'd all have smaller, compact tapes and superior recording quality. Laserdisc was also rescued, so we get a fantastic home-cinema experience too.

As Captain Tech would have rescued us from lower bit-rate Dolby Digital, DTS surround sound would be on on every amp. Our ears would be bathed in glorious sound from every corner of the room, but there'd also be high-definition audio, so our music would be the very best quality.

His meddling with the fabric of time would also have yielded a surprising result. The success of BeOS and its sale to Apple computer would mean that Steve Jobs never returned to the company, meaning there is no iPod in this alternate reality. Instead, everyone either has a MiniDisc player or an oddly shaped Creative MP3 player.

Captain Tech has truly saved the day. The formats we thought were dead have been resurrected and no more do we have to suffer the cheaper mass-market alternative. In our brightly coloured minds, anyway.
