I don't know about that Steve.     I don't own a TV.      I do things slowly
on the internet but I write a lot, practice and listen to complicated music.
I watch newscasts but would just as soon read them because I can focus
better.    It's my age.

Re:



Any population that averages 24-30 hours of televison a week -- that
has done so for entire their lives -- has to be addressed with video.
They *want* video. 


So, if I'm seeking to market some crap, or to brainwash the populace (spread
memes), video is the tool. If they are on utube already, why do I need more
power than my Dell 9" mini with 2 gig RAM & 1 6GH flash drive? I can watch
the videos, even the World Cup Soccer matches and on-line movies and live tv
right now with a 48 MBPS wireless signal.

I could be missing 3D movies I suppose. ;-) But as I don't care about
that...

As well, consider -- greater heat production and more machine errors.
