Computers And Television - Too Much Information?

Google takes another shot at the TV market | Reuters. The last frontier for media is the convergence of television and the Internet. As more and more Internet media makes its way to the 60 year old Television technology, it is becoming apparent that most of us don't know that what we really want is one unified method of accessing everything. Call it the unified field theory of information. I have noticed, for a couple of decades, that lawyers use a lot of information, and that computers and technology could make access to that information easier and more convenient. The productivity gains that Internet legal research has created are stunning, aren't they? The next billionaire will be the guy who founds the company that finds out how to make the Internet and TV work as one. Google TV wants to pierce that market. One of Steve Jobs' last initiatives was to crack the TV market. Someday, we will all think of Televisions and computers and tablets and smartphones as mere windows into a single, unified information and entertainment portal. Will it be Huxley's ironic "brave, new world" or a fantastical H.G. Wells "utopia"? If we live long enough, we get to find out.
