HD, or high definition, is so called because it's higher definition
than what we had (SD)
Now that we have HD, shouldn't we call that SD and thus leave
room for whatever comes next to be called HD.
If you haven't upgraded yet, then you have LD.

Hell no, we've barely started. Next will be ultra high definition, then super-ultra, then ultra ultra. But like all naming schemes, not appropriate for the bakery. |
|
| |
This is not a naming scheme, that's already been decided
upon!
At best this is a more appropriate application of the scheme...
At worst it's an 'On the brink of sleep' post that I may regret in
the morning. |

Just name by resolution, like computer monitors do. Or, as the ratio of pixels to average number of photoreceptors in a human eye. |
|
| |
All new technologies should be named according to the price increment at time of release, e.g. if a new HD LED TV costs around ten times that of a the standard CRT TV when released to market, then it would be called "10 times more expensive than usual TV" |
|
| |
HD already refers to at least four standards. Just call them what they are. If it's 720p - call it that. |

super-ultra ultra eXtreme! |
|
| |
This may be an advocacy idea... |

Perhaps, to make this more of an idea, my brand new HD TV
could have a sticker printed with some kind of decaying
ink.
Over a predictable period of time, the sticker can fade so it
changes from HD to SD to LD as new technology is released. |

I like a man who's prepared to stand by his idea, even if he knows it's not up to much. |
|
| |
I'm not standing by anything. The idea is out and on its own
now.
I just added something that hadn't occurred at the time! |
