So, Nick, do you think that people are going to be laying on their couch surfing the net now instead of sitting down with their laptop or desktop? Or are they just going to still be using their TV as a TV? What’s your take?
Hi Pat,
Thanks for reading and the question!
It is very interesting type of landscape I think for TV over the next few years. Personally I think within the next 5 years we will have one device to watch TV and it will be all on demand and will be powered with a product like Google TV. I think Google TV has a long way to go but is a great first step into the next wave of entertainment…
Anyway, those are my 2 cents on the topic.
Take Care,
Nick
