Gerald, Gary, TV/PC convergence

"I just can't see how a family can all sit in front of the TV surfing the net."
"Plus it ties up the TV so that either you can't surf or your daughter can't watch Dawson's Creek"

Can't play a game and watch TV at the same time, yet they sell a few game players. For that matter you can't watch two different TV shows at the same time, thats why most folks have more than one TV.

Eventually the products will converge, so that you can choose your poison from any device within the home. I imagine at some point there will be a server in a closet somewhere, offering all functions to monitors located wherever throughout the home.

At their essence, a TV and a PC are the same thing, a screen that displays information and entertainment. The guts and interface are presently different, it will be more cost and use efficient if they can be made the same. And capitalism loves efficiency.

MHO,

John
