We have the burdon of knowledge. We know too much. We were there when a TV turned on and you were presented with channels. Some fuzzy some clear. Sometimes your had to wiggle the antenna. The point is, there is a generation that has never known that. They have only seen a smart tv. They don't know the greener grass. TV makers are waiting for us to die and the next generation to just accept their shitty product as normal. I hate it. I hate it so much.

I disagree, these are TV's death throes, a final delirious thrashing of feature creep to ward off the inevitable disappearance from people's homes. How many young people do you know who watch TV on the regular, or even own a TV?

Smarter TVs, dumber content, dumber people.
