Sure, HD DVD has been slaughtered by Blu-ray, but will we really care when our television is an ingestible alpha-wave generator that'll just paint the pictures on the insides of our heads for us? Tex Avery's vision of the Television of Tomorrow in this MGM cartoon from 1953 might not have come true yet, but we're holding out hope that we could get a few of these innovations stuck into our next-gen televisions before the tubes vanish into our noggins. If you could flip open extra screens to see more of the subject, and attach your television directly to the garbage disposal, you wouldn't care what the delivery format was anymore.
