VHS machines would destroy it....they didn't. Cable would put it out of business....uh-uh, it didn't. The Internet would make TV irrelevant....nope, it hasn't. In fact TV is one of the drivers OF the Internet. Local TV has changed, competition increased, the business plan is very different. But each time major changes come, TV adapts and moves on. It will again and again. TV, through the advertising it displays, is still the largest driver of consumer products and cars the planet has ever seen. Lot's of life left in the old lady still.
