It's possible that cable TV may be dead by 2040, replaced by internet TV. There already are TV shows that are made for the internet, and they are pretty good. I watched "Lilyhammer", which was made for Netflix. But watching video on a screen, that probably isn't going to go away. The holodeck, or even the smaller holosuites can't be used by everyone, they are bulky and there isn't enough to go around. Plus, from what we've seen, the holodeck is more addictive and mind-rotting than TV.
I disagree that TV can't tell you about Napoleon, which was one of his examples. A good documentary can be quite informative, although a book can give you much more detail. I dropped cable a couple years ago, there just wasn't anything worth watching. Video isn't mind-rotting, it is the choice of content.
