Given the recent March Madness, and no I don't mean President Obama's continuing attacks on the business world, wouldn't it be cool to be able to watch the NCAA basketball games on your big screen TV and share the games with your friends.
What do I mean? What if you could watch a game on TV and be connected to your friends wherever they might be. Your big screen TV would show the game in one "window" while you would see your friends in other windows on the screen like a video conference. You could see each other, share comments, yell, jump up and down. You could share the experience. This could also apply to movies or other television shows on TV. You could watch these together. Also, with recent annoucements that any video game will be playable across the net without a need for an Xbox or Playstation with new gaming technology then this experience could be shared as well.
Its coming. How fast is difficult to discern. These days its not the technology holding these ideas up, its the fear of losing control by the providers of media content. Its funny, their fear often makes their loss of control more complete. Those that adapt early actually maintain more control of their content in the long run.
