Digital doubts on 2012
Article Abstract:
The elderly persons in United Kingdom are likely to find it difficult to buy the LCD TV's or other digital paraphernalia, which are likely to become mandatory by 2012. There does not seem to be a clear cut plan for the transition from analogue to digital technology, even though the government is firm on steering the country towards this technology from 2008 and complete the transition by 2012. Many questions like the elderly issue remain unanswered.
