Nice food for thought. Eventually, Internet TV will normalize. Competitive markets will drive down TV prices. TVs will antiquate frames. And people will decorate their walls with masterpieces via the Internet. All for a reasonable cost.
Then, history will repeat itself. Maybe, with 3DTV or telepresence. Holographic sculptures sitting in your living room.
The “Thinking Factory” has done it again. As Google continues to take over the interwebs and influence all sectors of lifeonlineasweknowit, I find it wonderful and somewhat relieving that despite how much power they hold, they always seem to create something truly revolutionary. Yesterday, Google officially launched Art Project, which essentially takes their unique Maps Street View 360 technology into the most prestigious art museums around the world, giving any person with internet connection the simulation of being halfway around the world viewing hundreds of masterpieces in extreme zoom detail without ever leaving home. What’s more, Google also lets you curate and save your own “collection” too, just to make it even more accessible for you. No big deal.
