I'd be surprised if anybody is using "cable" anymore to watch television in the very near future. Technology is moving so fast that it seems crazy to think anything we are doing, technology wise, will not be obsolete in 5 years. Amazon, Google and Apple all have "set-top" boxes that stream movies and television. A few years ago I had to wait in long lines at Blockbuster and other video stores to rent movies. Those stores are long gone and it only took a few years for it to happen because of online movie streaming and on demand technology.
Singularity is near. It's both exciting and scary.
