As for ‘my disappointment’ with my 2035 prediction - why would I be? It’s simply a prediction - we are not even half way there yet and the streamers are fast ascending in their popularity at the expense of the TV channels. That is exactly what I said would happen. You are the one obsessed with this, not me!

As time goes on, changes will come at a speedier pace, and we all need to get used to this.
I see no real evidence that this is actually true. Television is a well developed technology. Flashes in the pan come and go - (3D, curved TVs) - but fundamentally all that changes is they get bigger, higher resolution. Dated standards (and set top boxes) persist even in the face of superior technology.
