At present it seems to me that those who think that nothing will change are engaging in wishful thinking rather than engaging in the reality. Sorry, Den, but there are no persuasive arguments that I have heard yet to support the status quo. If you have one, please let us know what they are.

If it's simply that you don't believe that viewing habits can ever change, well good luck with that. Five years ago, some of my work colleagues were amazed that we did our grocery shopping on the Internet. Now, they are converts. If that kind of change can come within five years, are you really so confident that everyone will use their TV in the same way in 20?
