Clearly, Mark Pesce was way off with his prognostications on the future of television. In the current issue of Newsweek, Conan O'Brien tells us what tomorrow's TV landscape is really going to look like.To begin, the trend toward larger and larger televisions will continue as screens double in size every 18 months. Televisions will eventually grow so large that families will be forced to watch TV from outside their homes, peering in through the window. Random wolf attacks will make viewing more dangerous. And, just as televisions grow larger and more complicated, so will remote controls. In fact, changing channels will soon require people to literally jump from button to button. Trying to change the channel while simultaneously lowering the volume will require two people and will frequently lead to kinky sex.Oh, and Steven Levy also has a few ideas.
