They have them at Walmart, for example, or Staples or any other similar store for around $6-$10.

Do you think Once Upon a Time is perverted?


Considering the poster in question, I'm sure he thinks My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is perverted.

Secondly, the SEC might come in and try to break up Netflix if it's the only big player in the internet TV business able to make a profit.

Not likely, if they become big enough, it won't get broken up easily if at all. Major examples (obvious too) stand to be the likes of Wal-Mart and Microsoft. Microsoft corners the operating system market, and Wal-Mart spreads like a virus into small American towns and pushes out small time mom and pop shops with ease.

They hold money, which holds politicians and political maneuverability and clout, which holds back what you just described.

On another note, you don't know what the internets infrastructure will be like in 15 years, and can't really even guess.

Note, it's dominated by cable companies who don't want to invest in infrastructure as to maximize profits. As long as it's more profitable to use Cat-5 cables when compared to fiber I don't see the cable companies changing their ways.

My only complaint about television these days would have to be how perverted most of the TV shows are. Even on Netflix, which my relatives love to watch.

Your regular ultra-conservative opinions are in general not looked upon favorably or even entertained by people on this forum as serious but I'll take a swing at it.

Regardless of how much you like it, or want it to stay, it will not stagnate as this is the natural cycle of change, moving from a weaker form of entertainment to a more stable and affordable form that can be realistically implemented.

And saying most shows are perverted is really subject to opinion (yours - obviously irrelevant and extreme), holds no water, and most shows are accepted as normal, because they are.

If consumers want it, they can change it. Or eventually someone will offer something akin to what we will need, make massive profit off of the expansion of business due to the immediate investment made on the new infrastructure and stomp every other company to the point where they're either submissive and bankrupt, or will save themselves and offer the equivalent or better. Such is business. Someone will take an opportunity, and we both know that is probably true. Now however I will admit 2030 may seem far fetched for a time frame.

TV will still be around for news, sports and casual TV shows like Storage Wars and those Food channel shows. I have both Netflix and cable TV. They're both good for different things. Radio is still around even though downloading of music is very common.

Nothing has yet totally replaced or eliminated movie theatres, concerts, or radio. All of these were predicted to be dead soon, one time or another, because X was gonna replace them.

The radio's still up. The military still uses morse code. Vinyl records still exist. Movie theatres still exist. People still put on plays. Magazines and newspapers still exist. They still print books.

I watch both. Mainly because I like to just flip channels sometimes, rather than deciding to watch something.
