The Next Hang Out: <insert nintendo here>

This seems plausible.

I must do this.

Also, I officially no longer have TV.

So you still have your tv but not cable or satellite, I can't blame you, I rarely watch tv on a tv, I watch nearly all of it on a computer now.

Just found out that the smoking cessation aid program that the BC government is rolling out at the end of the month covers prescription pills as well through PharmaCare.
Something tells me this is going to be my last month as a smoker.

Pretty much this. I'm going to sign up for Netflix sometime next week, in case I ever feel the need to just have a show on in the background (or stand-up comedy. I love comedy). Also, kid's shows. Because some of those are actually really good, and Dallas loves them. But once I figured out that I was paying $70/month for a service that I was using maybe once a month... that was kind of the end of that.

Netflix is fine if you're not following any of the new shows, but it doesn't have a lot of programs on there. I can see cable lasting for a while longer still, it just needs to start offering some form of an incentive to have cable. They have been doing that somewhat with a lot of those VideoOnDemand services -- which I did use a fair bit with my cable -- where you can watch certain shows at any time free of charge, similar to Netflix. That's how I watched the entirety of the first season of The Walking Dead, and Season 3 of Breaking Bad. Much easier than downloading, and Netflix didn't (and still doesn't, as far as I'm aware) offer them.

However, for movies and whatnot, Netflix is by far the way to go. I don't see cable disappearing entirely, at least not until the baby boomer generation completely dies off (and that includes baby boomer's kids, like my parents), but people tend to stick to what they know and trust. I don't see my parents ever getting rid of their cable, and probably about 80% of the people in that age range (my parents are just shy of 50) will continue to have cable, likely until the day that they die. And even then, a lot of people are still going to have cable just for the new shows that come out -- how many people are hooked on all of those reality shows and whatnot, or the new season of How I Met Your Mother/Big Bang Theory/<insert-generic-show-here> and absolutely must see it when it airs, screw downloading/streaming it?

The answer? A lot. Maybe not so much on this board, but the people on this site aren't representative of the norm of society. Suffice to say, I don't see Netflix or similar services making a complete takeover for a long, long time.

There are very few shows that I actually follow. I don't like most of those "reality" shows (there are a couple of exceptions, like American Pickers and Pawn Stars when I just want something on in the background), but beyond that... I follow Breaking Bad, Dexter, How I Met Your Mother, and... yeah. That's it. Not enough there for me to justify $70/month, especially since I have no qualms downloading shows.

However, I can see myself watching stuff that I find randomly on Netflix on a rainy day that I wouldn't go out of my way to download. And I've been pleasantly surprised in the past by doing that, so here's hoping.
