Trying to figure out the football game

During this Thanksgiving weekend, my alma mater (University of Utah) and my father's alma mater (BYU) played in their big game. My father was quite anxious to watch it but did not know if or which of his 124,345,883 channels provided coverage of the game. Although I feigned indifference, I went online to try and figure it out. First, I went to the U of U website and found out the time and channel listed for Salt Lake Residents. Then, I had go to our cable provider's website to find a contact number to call. Next, I called the number, navigated my way through a maze of automated dialing, and finally talk to representative who could have very likely been talking to me thousands of miles away. Once I gave her the listed channel for Salt Lake City, she was able to give me the correct channel for my area. To double check, I accessed the guide on the television, looked ahead three days, and found that it was correct. All of this is pretty normal for 2006 but would have sound crazy 20 years ago. It got me thinking. What will be normal 20 years from now?
