Assuming that the average person has about 16 waking hours per day, researchers predict that in five years, almost a third of that time will be spent looking at video screens:
Consumption of video content is expected to rise 25% to five hours per day by 2013, compared with the four hours now watched in 2008, according to Forrester Research. The firm suggests the increase will be driven by consumers watching programming of all grades via computers, mobile phones, portable media players and even digital photo frames.
Yep, whereas we once had, "The revolution will not be televised," we're now stuck with, "The television will be revolutionized." What a great leap forward, huh? Excuse me for a second: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

OOOoooo….where can I get that TV?
My dvds of Scarecrow and Mrs. King and TJ Hooker would look awesome on that.
I didn't know Japan had their own version of "The Price Is Right."
Does it make you feel better Cord that I will be canceling my cable subscription soon?
I turned off my cable. i don't watch tv anymore. i like my internet. Oh, and crazy shit like books and newspapers. I don't talk much on the phone or text. I show up at the time i say i'm going to show up, so i don't have to call and say i'll be late. Cause that makes it okay:)
I'm trying to watch less cable. I really am. However, I have a hard time falling asleep without a little bit of background noise.
We have a 3,500 dollar TV. I think people who cannot handle watching movies and playing video games on mediocre screens are pussies. My brother still insists on buying televisions from Wal-Mart and then returning them. Again and again. At least Wal-Mart isn't ethical itself.
