 I suppose as long as we have Murph's new avatar to see us through, it'll be fine.

Those wiley ol studio's and their tricks. I wonder just how long it's going to take them to render 1080p 'yesterdays news' and double or triple the resolution? I mean after all house hold tv's went a whopping... what, 50 years? Before they finally upped standard resolution first to 1080i and now 1080p. But my guess is in todays ever changing digital world 1080p isn't going to stick around as 'King of the Hill' for that long. I give it a good ten year run max before 'Blu-squared-Ray takes over, or something similar.
Can you imagine the day our grandchild says, "grampa what's this"? And we say, "oh that's a Blu-Ray disc. We used to watch movies from these". And they giggle and say, "wow, you really are old grampa".
That day is coming, believe it or not. I'm guessing the next gen evolution for tv will be 3D based, like holographic imaging.

I'm hoping to see 7 of 9 in 3D imaging.

Except they will find a way to disable the 3d every 5 minutes unless you feed another fiver into the slot in you'r studio owned 3D wonder machine.

I don't know that 3D will be next, but I definately think our grandchildren will have holographic tv like devices. One thing that I think I can see coming over the horizon is the day when you won't even buy a disc. Like the new Samsung I just bought, you can watch movies right over the internet with it. I can see a day when that's how it will be. You won't buy an actual disc, you'll just buy the rights to watch a particular movie whenever you want.

It's going to be a long time before I'm comfortable with download-only purchases. When I have a physical copy, my options for what to do with it seem to be much greater. When it's just downloaded data, it can be problematic to share with other people, and I have to rely on the company I purchased from not going out of business and leaving me high and dry when something happens to my downloaded copy. And it seems like we're still too far away from everyone having internet speeds that would allow this kind of delivery for the cutting-edge in quality. If this is the future that the market forces on me, I'm not sure I'll be too thrilled.
