New TV to bring whole family together -- watching different shows


New TV to bring whole family together -- watching different shows - Yahoo! News
Parents will no longer miss their news programs or movies if their children insist on watching cartoons.
A new television will allow two different programs to air at the same time depending where one sits.
Japanese electronics firm Sharp Corp on Thursday unveiled the liquid crystal display (LCD) set that can simultaneously display different images into the right and left sides of the screen through a backlight.

Neat idea I guess, but I have an alternate solution to the problem of the kids wanting to watch cartoons when the adults want to watch something else. I call it my "sucks to be you" method (tm). Here is how it works.
Adult walks into room and changes channel. Kid whines, "I was watching cartoons". Adult responds with "The operative word in that statement is was. Sucks to be you." See some other enforcement ides here and here.
