-3D Television? No

-Raspberry PI? No but I want to.

Over-50 tech-ish. In the brief time I was an IT manager I ordered Blackberries for some of the staff but didn't use one myself. DVD recorder: not for TV but on the computer. No webtv, no 3d tv (I'm not much of a TV watcher anymore), no internet radio. With some programming help I recently set up a Pico W with a water sensor to monitor a water heater for flooding and ping my phone if it happens. That was pretty nifty.
