And then , with the collapse of communism, supermarkets happened. Broadcast TV meets the same fate with the coming of broadband. And exactly like in supermarkets, people will build blind trails to their most frequented alleys. They will find favorites in sports, or music, or news, or social networking or whatever else they wish to haul onto their trolley for the evening. Search engines can come handy, but only when looking for something out of the ordinary. Favorites will rule normally. But is there no catch ? Well, there is - the bandwidth. It will take the next decade before broadband replaces broadcast...note that it has taken comparable time for phones. The Negroponte switch will probably partially flip again (everything becomes wireless, and on-demand), but then only in the next decade.</p> In the bad old days of communism, people had no shopping choice. they stood in long queues to buy bread or cheese or vodka, from government owned stores, offering no choice in brands, no discounts, no surprises…no fun.
