Hi,

I kind of agreed with you on one point, people don't act the same when
they look at the TV than when they're looking at their computer. But
once yoy try Interactive TV you are bound to get hook (I now I'm). As
both a user and developper I can't see the limit of this new technologie,
imagine being able to interact with what you are watching. The best
exemple I can give use is when you are looking at the new, sure I could
just sit there and wait until they talk about a subject the could
interest me or I could get a quick look at all the new and then decided
wich I want more info on. That sound a lot like the web, but imagine
doing the same choice but on TV, only on thing can be said WOW.

I know it may seem strange now (as the internet seem 5 year ago), but
once you try it you'll get hook faster than you were with the Internet,
that's my humble opinion, cause that's what happen to me :0)
