'Killing the idiot in the box' Say Paul: What do you make of it? Any comments as to the implications? Thanks. Oh happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. ============================================================= If you put a potato on the couch, modern psychology will divulge that it really is an onion. There are layers to a personality. And only a few peelings below you are bound to meet a thinking, feeling and even hyperactive human. Waiting to snatch control. That, of course, is an axiom. A supposition on which all evangelists of interactivity base their bets; especially those of a religion called Interactive TV. Their promise is a big one. It involves turning your television into a jukebox, a personal information manager and a Web browser. With a casual flick of the remote commander, it is possible to view a menu of several hundred films. Just select one. Or even two and three to line up your own primetime schedule.
