So the May 1st edition of the Economist this year had a fantastic special report on the future of television. Although I agree it can be a huge time waste, I think live TV will continue to play an important role in media consumption going forward. A lot of the TV I continue to watch and enjoy is typically best when seen live--World Cup, college football, etc. Although there is a large bias towards sporting events, I think this phenomenon exists even with series (e.g. even with the rise in ownership of DVR's, many people still watch their favorite shows live). http://www.economist.com/specialreports/specialreportslist.cfm?category=455022 http://www.economist.com/specialreports/specialreportslist.c...
