Too many distractions. When you settle in on the couch for an epside of Top Chef, you're there. Assuming you watch it live and can't DVR past the commercials, then you enjoy the episode in a steady, predictable manner, oscillating between show and interruptions. Back and forth. Even better is watching TV on HBO, sans-commercials.
If you're watching a show at your computer, there's just too much to potentially interrupt you. That ding was your inbox telling you you just got another email. Maybe you want to read an article at the same time, and for a second, you sorta think you can switch back and forth between the two, until the show is just background noise, and you're forgetting where it came from.
When watching internet video directly on your TV is a reality, and it's easily navigable with quality that will actually be big. In fact, people I've talked to who do this -- project their pirated movies onto the wall or something can't actually go back to watching regular TV, with commercials and all. Too distracting and jarring (sort of how I feel about regular desktop viewing). Only just a matter of time, probably.
This is some reliable material. It took me some time to unearth this web page but it was worth the time. I noticed this page was hidden in yahoo and not the first spot. This website has a lot of good quality stuff and it doesn’t deserve to be burried in the search engines like that. By the way I am going to add this web publication to my favorites.
