All the stuff I see on YouTube is stupid kids stuff. It's definately funnier than what's on TV these days, but I'd rather watch TV. Not my computer. You are dead wrong if you think the internet video will replace TV. Do you really think Black people will produce quality shows on the internet? All the stuff I see on YouTube is stupid kids stuff.

Smart set-top boxes -- think what TIVO could become - and applications such as slingbox will combine to create interactive television that is portable to wherever you might be. We are just now starting to see the evolution: you can program your DVR to capture your favorite programs and you can do VOD for episodes or movies you want to see. Now, combine searching and uploading capabilities from the Internt and now you are talking! There are so many exciting applications being created now. I saw a demonstration recently of something that was similar to the matrix Tom Cruise used in "Minority Report" where you navigate through a wall-high video screen using your hands to push, pull and turn "pages" or screens. You can see if for yourself at JFK airport next time you are there. The future is now; the content just needs to catch up. The computer won’t replace TV; the TV will become more like a computer.
