We’ve come a long way. It was not long ago when most of us had but a single screen in our homes – the television set. (Of course in our house growing up, we had a lot more than that. I come from a family of early adopters). Over time, we added second and third TVs as well as an entirely new category of screen in the form of the personal computer. Increasingly, both TVs and PCs are now found throughout the home, connected to each other as well as the Internet. Net result, a dramatic increase in the complexity of consumer infrastructure. In short, it just doesn’t work most of the time for too many folks and I blame the home network. Oh, it’s not merely three screens consumers are dealing with but rather multiple PCs, TVs, and other stuff with a screen on it.
