- A Million Little Pieces (Oprah's Book Club) の著者が"Oprah After the show"というTV番組で言っていたことを少しだけディクテーション。
I have a bunch of tattoos, but the one I see most frequently is this one on my wrest; it stands for simplicity, patience, compassion, discipline, honesty and courage. Those are words important to me.

Oh how far we have come in 30 years Diane.
I will tell you.
It is a monumental day.
We’re on the cutting edge with this new technology.
And anybody who has purchased a high definition television set recently will tell you, “you know the old saying: it’s like watching grass grow”.
If you have high definition, if there was a grass growing channel you’d watch it.
It is that amazing.
High definition is just that a picture so clearly defined you can count individual blades of grass.
In HD, this frog looks like it’s clinging from the glass of your screen.
This ice seems to float outside of open window.
And the sun light and sand of monument valley is simply mesmerizing
It’s like watching oil paintings come to life.
And whether you are fan of the Dutch masters or the X-games, you see it and hear it like never before.
Sound is so enhanced and the roar of a shuttle rocket will rattle your fillings.
And the colors are so vivid that it seems as you can taste that apple.
There it is, your 1st official “desperate housewives” plug in HD.
One more sign is tube is changing, but for a good reason.
It’s because not since our music went from cassette to CD, or television went from black and white to color, there have been such a dramatic improvement in technology.
HD is certainly the greatest advance to television in decade.
High definition is not just clearer and sharper; picture is also bigger and wider.
You see, high definition sets are shaped more like movie screen than your old television, which give you 30% more rockets and 20 extra yards of grid iron action.
Watching sports, HD dramatically widens the field of vision.
Action once cut off by the side line or end zone, now appear on screen.
It also changes clarity and dept perception.
Here is the simulation of the difference: standard television and HD.
Take another look, standard definition with 200,000 points of colors light, high definition with 2 million, 10 times sharper.
As you can imagine there are a lot of TV junkies at this network, among them this is the most popular room in the building.
It’s the HD lab.
For the past 7 years, they have been watching pictures getting bolder and sharper, and prices getting lower.
Just 2 years ago, sets like this once would have set you back $7,000 bucks.
These days you can get it for $2,500 and prices are going down.
Man, they look good.
Right now, only about 4% of homes can see these pictures in all their glory.
But in just 5 years, that number will be 64%.
Here is the good news—even if you don’t have HDTV just yet, GMA you see starting from today, better looking than ever.
And in the next 30 years, we will bring the world highly defined.
