in the meantime, while we sit around and wait, thinking that seems unlikely and also will we even live that long, what do you do? Personally, I sit and seethe...
In 50 years the televisual styles seen as so sophisticated and modern today will look just as dated and clunky as anything made in the 1960s does to us now, and there'll be a whole new narrative fashion that all the shows will be emulating, to greater or lesser success, with a whole new generation declaring that anything not conforming to that standard must be crap...:D
Of course, knowing that won't stop us grumbling about perceived mistakes made today and what's current will always be the most disappointing because they're making it right now they have the chance to make it perfect and it isn't!
