>>By now I had finished the third beer, and Beddow was still making sense. As we talked, I popped up
statistics on San Francisco 49ers receiver Terrell Owens after he made a catch. We then switched to a
showing of ''High Noon,'' where I was treated to tidbits regarding the film's underlying political
message, writer Carl Foreman's blacklisting and the fact that John Wayne--who had criticized the
movie--presented Gary Cooper his best actor Oscar.
Such overlapping content could be a way to breathe life into old movies and TV shows, Beddow
pointed out, at the same time giving rise to a new industry creating material to augment existing video.
Granted, I knew the 1952 film marked an early bad-guy role for Lee Van Cleef, but I can see how this
would interest someone who didn't and might want to review the actor's filmography.
Leaning back in the bogus living room, I couldn't help but marvel at the Information Age--how a
passive activity like watching television could be transformed into a two-way exchange, providing
fingertip access to scads of data without ever leaving the couch.
Then it suddenly registered that I had consumed three beers, and there are still a few things even an
interactive remote control can't do for you. <<

2001 will be a great year for Actv investors.
