I think it's about time. Much of my DVD viewing is on my Pooter now. Not to mention streaming audio and video.

Much of my DVD viewing is on my Pooter now.

I don't own a television. Got a big DVD collection though. My view on it is- just delete the television all together. The computer is becoming the television and much more. What do I need a television for when I can do everything a television can with my computer? That's where we ought to be going in my opinion.

I want a synthesis of all media, not 'one medium device over here, another over there, computer in the office'.

I think this is the way. Television. Scrap heap. Desktop computer- scrap heap. One information system that can combine radio, video, newspaper, internet, interactivity, office work, home studio, home radio broadcast, home television broadcast. Everybody could be a Matt Drudge then and we wouldn't even need ABCCBSNBCCNNBBC...
