George Gilder predicted in his book 'The End of Television' that televisions and home computers would soon be replaced by teleputers that combine both functions. Whatever the prediction, the TV set is more likely to become a computer than the other way around, that is television emigrating to a computer screen. Read on to find out why this is a real possibility.
