(do you watch Jeopardy?... Do you watch sports on TV?) I don't do either, but I see what you are saying-- (have seen Ben Stein's money a handful of times...) I guess I've always considered TV to be like watching a movie--I want to be served up something and not have to do anything, just sit back and be entertained. We know that folks' brainwaves go quiet when the watch TV, maybe re-activating them will be stressful for couch potatoes... Personally, what I want to see are better online games, RPG/persistent world stuff. Maybe even lose the persistent part--I really don't want to make enough time to complete hundreds of hours of character building on Ultima, but it would be fun to get a few of my friends together and go on a quest. Still have not installed Ultima Online however...maybe I'm too intimidated, some kid will just kill my character anyway... Probably I'm just a sourpuss--I see the internet as having completed most of what it can do, which is to put a library at your fingertips. However...the degree to which the rest of America does not use written language cannot be understated, I see a future in interactive pro wrestling... (Governor Ventura fans step up to the plate)
