The Internet killed the television. At least for me, there is now no reason to get cable. The computer screen now allows you to access anything from anywhere in the world, shop, download movies and shows, listen to music, plan your life, talk to friends, compose a song, watch the shows and movies that you downloaded, read the Bible, make money, do banking, sell your possessions. The vitualness of the TV is being subverted by a more seductive virtualness: that of the computer. This is not new. But it does beg the question of how we spend our productive lives in front of essentially a machine. But maybe reality is too inefficient.
