A lot of people predicted in the late 90s that televisions would be  completely outdated and replaced by personal computers within a decade.  Well, this is the year 2010 and we can still say it hasn’t happened yet.  Sure, televisions of today are quite different from what we had back  then. During those days, interactive television had not taken off yet  and sets were incapable of X box entertainment or You Tube streaming no  You Tube back then. . Even though the lines have really blurred  between TVs and PCs today, we can still say TV maintains the image of  being a “laid back entertainment device”. Unlike the PC experience, TV  viewing is all about laying back and relaxing in a comfortable  environment with the user taking no active role in the proceedings.
