Forrester Research: ITV/IPG/EPG will "rival
the Internet." GemStar thinks you can fit a TV guide and a half-dozen banner ads on your screen.Your media will be controlled by more and more "intelligent" boxes.  You won't need to worry about those
pesky user interface issues since professionals have that under control.DRM is serious issue, but a corollary is you already have too much media to sort through.We ingest media based on recommendations from people: mavens, critics, friends.  You'll never get that
kind of multi-media, real-time, IM-aware guide from corporate America. |
