  1. I’m a bit confused by #2. What is ‘Social Gestures’ tech trend? Is that referring to motion controlled gaming like the Playstation Move and Xbox Kinect? I definitely understand why the rest of that list would be up there. Touch computing is really intuitive after a short learning curve, and TV Everywhere is one of the most convenient technologies to come along in as long as I can remember. I got mine set up through my service provider, and employer, DISH, and not only was it a breeze to set up but there aren’t any extra monthly fees for having the extra convenience/service. I love being able to watch MY TV on my iPad wherever I go, and it’s not just a limited selection either. I get both all my live channels and anything I have on my DVR. I was even able to watch my programming last time I flew since many of the airlines provide in-flight WiFi now!
