It seems like "convergence" of all the technology that we use on a daily basis is coming together more and more lately.....
Is Tv taking the same path as the stereo turntable (and prior to thet the old gramaphone) to obsolesence???
From this story below it sounds as if this isnt too far off......
I have to confess that with the current technology today, I still do not watch too much tv on the web....there are not too many "live" broadcast tv feeds that I can find easily and some of the (most) video feeds available on the web such as with CNN and MSN are actually videotaped and not live per say....
There is AOL TV which has some pretty decent older offerings of tv shows of the past but the quality isnt that great yet....considering all the video compression that current technology offers...and the speed at which people who have broadband internet access connect to the net......but all in all it is a start.

I have also included a link to the AOL Tv service where one can watch older episodes of shows such as Wonder Woman, The A Team, Facts of Life and other 70s-80s shows for free.

I have to confess also that I have not visited the site in a while but today is saturday and it is snowy and gloomy outside here in Wisconsin so I may just take this site and a few others for a spin....that is if Nick at Night and I love Lucy dont take most of my attention away....
A good saturday to all....
