Did you ever think about the goal of TV programming 20 or 30 years ago? Back in those days many homes only had one TV so the 'best' programs where shows that appealed to everyone in the family. Today, a family of four might have four TVs. (This is not to mention additional Tivo devices and such.) Programmers have to capture a demographic vs having widespread appeal. Has this changed how families interact? Do families argue less? Do children no longer have constant opportunities to develop abilities to negotiate and compromise?
Entertainment certainly is bound to continue to evolve. What are we likely to see in the next twenty years? Could they start to make realistic cartoon shows that are programmed in a way to be entertaining in some custom fashion to one person? Will we each be in our own little worlds? If that happened would we lose something in the process?
