Re: Friends
Michelle,

I sometimes wonder if that isn't one of the hidden strengths of lecture format in school, which almost everyone professes to hate, and yet which never seems to go away or even really diminish. Perhaps "everyone face Grandpa/ma and s/he will tell us the lore" is in our genes, and getting into that arrangement is a signal that turns on our attention. (Or our sleep response, if I may judge by what my own lectures did to students ...)

Re: Friends
@John That's really interesting. Now it's time for us to all look at our computer screens to learn a little more about this sitting and staring at the same thing as a group...

Re: Friends
Elizabeth,

Putting on my furniture history hat (couple courses in that while I was studying theatre design) and not looking up any sources for 20 year old information, I seem to remember that in most cultures with furniture the furniture is pointed at something -- the hearth, a window or sliding doors, the household shrine, but something. Apparently sitting together and all looking the same way is pretty basic to humans living together.

That also leads to the thought that there's at least one reason why VR will probably never dominate a room in the house the way that TVs, cabinet radios, pianos,  fireplaces, etc. have in prior ages: you need something with a definite location that other people can be seen to be watching.

Re: Friends
There are always going to be things that are just better to watch on the television. What we will see (already seeing?) is TVs continuing to get bigger and clearer to directly oppose smaller screens.

Re: Friends
They definitely aren't going anywhere in my lifetime. I have a TV in almost every room in my house, but that is because I write about TV and I travel from room to room a lot.

Re: US Smartphone Penetration Hits 80%, but Still Lags TV
For those of us lucky enough to have our own businesses, it is up to us!! :) But on a mor seirous note, I would suspect that it has to do with the mission and what is determined by indeed the higher up--As an example, SuperCuts Franchiees are given an opportunity to stream music thru iHeart--BUT they have a liimited choice.    

Interesting times..as I wish all a in the US a fabulouso Memorial Day W-End......

@mpouraryan Who sets what streams in the background? Do all employees come to an agreement, or is set by the higher ups?

Re: US Smartphone Penetration Hits 80%, but Still Lags TV
It is indeed interesting no doubt--the question we have to think about is this:  What's then? As we are witness to a post-TV World (and as I am working away, SkyNEws is streaming in the background..and at my own Network, we've got Al Jazeera streaming live) that is already here.   That's a question we have to ask--right?

US Smartphone Penetration Hits 80%, but Still Lags TV
This is very interesting by many points that came across about the us smartphone penetration. I believe that it will be more than 80% in the near future or mabe less with the satisfation rate going these days and will be total interesting to see as the time goes on in the days. I honestly think it will be a good result that it will produce.
