In front of the TV they're passive and dull. I think that a new T.V. will be able to scan you so you can be on T.V. with the T.V. stars. Inc. Both television sets and the telephone exist in vast numbers of homes. These could be used for speech, high-fidelity music, still pictures on the screen, data transmission, home newspaper delivery, electronic mail, and so on. Many proposals for future domestic products have arisen from these possibilities.
Cable television can display images like color photographs - any still television frame.
One's daily newspaper in the future may occupy one such television channel, perhaps with color photographs and news items assembled in many countries. The users would select the news that interested them. Interactive advertising could be used, as well as shopping from the home, color catalogues, computer assisted instruction with color pictures, and so on. The new television can be a more humanized and friendlier medium than conventional television. A person arriving home can obtain the news summary or sports result when convenient , not at some fixed time.
