Even learning to broadcast programming from your laptop to your TV has a learning curve. Meanwhile, you can just push a button on the TV and get to Netflix. The problem is that now half the space is going to be taken up with ads, and not even relevant ones.
Exactly. It seems people often completely miss the human behaviour element of this whole issue. Just saying 'LeARn to TEcH N00b' isn't helpful or realistic in the real world for most people. I have family that still won't touch a computer, or only use one for the most basic of browsing and email, but they can use a TV remote without issue.
