I don't even know why I still watch movies under these conditions

I was watching a DVD the other day and wanted to fast forward between chapters. The player that I was using would only fast forward at 16 times the normal playing speed. What is going on?! Only 16 times! I know of other DVD players that can go 32 times! Shouldn’t 32x fast forward be standard on all DVD players by now? When I was born the video cassette recorder was several years old and not very popular. Now we have machines that can only advance a digital video disc at 32 times normal pace!?!?
With a sloppy work ethic like this, it really isn’t a wonder why our society still has a homelessness problem.
