Television Reloaded
theodp writes "The TV times, they are a-changing. Over at Newsweek, Steven Levy offers a serious tome on the future of television, including time-shifting ("people will follow schedules only for real-time events like sports and election night"), space-shifting ("Now that you've stored your show on a TiVo, it's only logical to take it with you on your laptop, hand-held viewer or PSP game player") and the move from broadcast TV to broadband TV. Meanwhile, Conan O'Brien lightens things up with his own vision of the TV future ("Toddlers' bowls will have a television at the bottom, and children will be encouraged to eat all of their mush so they can see Morley Safer.")."
Misandry on the tele painted this (the /.) demographic out of the picture. Attempting to recope the costs of pissing on a few generations of men through some paid advertising as news?
The internet offers better alternatives, commercial time is up four minutes per 1/2 hrs from 25 years ago,
How many guys who watch sci-fi shave their legs, wear lipstick and buy into obnoxious women billboarding themselves to other women? Demographics are totally fucked (tv welfare for the inept at 180,00 a year).
TV is gone... and it's good thing
