do you think they will always be called "television shows" despite the "television" as we know it (channels sent over airwaves or via cable) fading into obscurity? or will we come up with a new name?

We still call them cell phones, so yes.


this actually kinda annoys me. i prefer to call it a 'mobile' because it's a 'mobile computing device'

I don't have a television in my apartment because I use a projector, but I'm sure that the majority of the people in this nation have at least one television. And they watch shows on it, so whether that's through cable, digital antenna, or streaming they're still watching shows on television.

What about you TC do you only watch shows on your phone, tablet, or computer or do also watch them on a television?

i technically use a TV as a monitor for my PC, which is how i consume all of my media, but i don't receive any content over the airwaves or via a cable box / connection. it's all over the intertubes

If it changes, it'll just be shorted to TV. Where TV doesn't actually mean anything anymore.

What about YouTube? You no longer watch it on a CRT. It's not a Tube! It's a flat glass panel.

Also, do people still say "tape someone" when recording someone? (Should we ask Xsquader what term he uses?)

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

And we still say "hang up the phone" when there is no longer any hanging to do!

Do you... live under a rock? Youve seriously never heard anyone just say show?

About as long as "film", probably.

But they are still "pictures" made with "light", so that still applies. Now, "camera" (which comes from "camera obscura"/dark chamber) is inaccurate, seeing as there is no longer a big dark chamber between the lens and the sensing plate.

My mom said telephone to the kids at her school and they didn't seem to know what a telephone was until then according to her.
