In the past both Apple and Microsoft have continually pushed TV and computer hybrid concepts & in the end people didn't want the computer exclusively on their telly or the TV exclusively on their computer. Mobile phones, netbooks & laptops have have changed that slightly but only as an extension to when & where we play telly catchup and we may yet see TV's with more Internet style 'social'net enabled interactivity.IPTV services including Freeview and iPlayer style content via broadband enabled boxes will no doubt be part of a fragmented delivery system for future television and radio content.

Most people - the vast majority - are still watching regular live, scheduled TV. There are also now online TV players, such as Zattoo, which retransmit on to your PC what is available for viewing on the regular box. While watching TV in this way is becoming very popular with the same young audiences that watch web-only shows, a much broader cross-section of internet society is getting hooked on watching TV on the PC screen. The reasons we're given for this range from multi-tasking at the PC to escaping what others are watching on the main set. Some people tell us they just like watching TV on the laptop. The short, web-only format might have an interesting future. However, it seems that regular TV will eventually be piped through the internet onto whatever screen you choose, so bringing live, catch-up and archival content to the goggle box as much as to the PC. For a 40-something woman, my guess is that for the time being, mainstream TV is where you will find your entertainment. The choice you have now and in the future is which screen to play it on.

If you're looking for shows for "a 40 something woman" you'll find that they are starting to be made. See, for instance, the romantic comedy Katie & Co at Mail Online: www.mailonline.co.uk/katie&co and the Web soap Heart And Soul at Mumspower: www.mumspower.com All the best, Colin @ Futurescape www.futurescape.co.uk Hi Lynn,
