Well I'm not saying it has left and no one uses. But I am saying that the medium has been innovated and network/cable TV is on its way out. And this was the case as soon as people became able to download a TV show for free.
My Dad at 52 used Netflix because it was the only option for him the other day and couldn't stop raving about it awesomeness. After I'd been telling to get for forever.
TV will be gone before people stop using it. Eventually it just won't be a profitable service and won't be offered. From most of what I've seen, people who don't download movies or don't use Netflix mostly do so because they don't want to implement a new system for themselves. If you and your wife could watch all (not just the ones on Netflix, all) your favorite TV shows for free whenever you want, why would you pay for TV and advertisements? It just seems silly to me that this wouldn't eventually become how we all get our entertainment.
I love when people refute new things and new ideas, like a new one has never came in and taken over before.
