Supports hypothesis

This news article by Navneet Alang writing in Canadian Business online, 01 December 2011, discusses Sony's failure in the TV manufacturing business. What is highlighted in this article is the cause of the failure and what the future is for the Television Set. He states that “Netflix and other content services threaten to turn the TV into simply one screen among many”. He also alluded to Apples iTV, a device that “implements voice and touch screens for control, and uses the depth and reach of iTunes’ apps and content to reimagine what that blank screen in the living room is capable of.” He goes on to say that “television has to be the linchpin that arranges those errant strands into a coherent universe of hardware, software and content.”
