Why are you so hot on HDTV w.r.t intel? I am no engineer, but doesn't it not offer anything more (other that better picture and sound and maybe minor levels of interaction) than tv?

I think when bandwidth is not an issue (very far into the future) computers will will power the interactive information age, not HDTV. And while the <$1,000 pc is hot now, I say this doesn't preclude an ever increasing appetite for processing power. Voice is not the be all end all, but an example of an untapped feature that requires processors to run. There are more of these that we probably can't see beyond the horizon.

I think you raise good points, but miss the persisant possibility of a new wildcard that changes everything. How many here new what the internet would be just 5 years ago???

I think that as bandwidth increases, so will interactivity on the pc or tv (take your pick on what you call it) and so will our desire to present, manipulate, diseminate, filter that information. This could drive the need for processors beyond levels we can now comprehend. And don;t forget that there will be a computer on the other end of that pipe that will need magnitudes of processing power to keep our ever shorting attention spans...
