Say goodbye to TV program guides

I was reading my Sunday paper last week and went to the "Living" section where I noticed the TV programming guide. How quaint - TV programing was listed by time. The very concept of time based TV goes away when you cut the cord.

All broadband TV and movie programming is available right now with no need to ensure you set your DVR or ensure you are near a TV or ensuer you "sling" your favorite programming to your computer or mobile device. Programming is no longer "linear" or serial based on time, but is available concurrently and continuously since programing is contained on a server available 24/7/365. There is no "prime time".

So, the next time you are reading the paper (itself quaint), take a look at the TV programming guide and think about how much better you have it once you've cut the cable TV cord.
