Takeaways, People are as addicted to video as they are to coffee, sugar or any other commodity worldwide, VR is still in it's experimental stage, IoT in the kitchen, garage even the bedroom. "TV" screens are brighter, larger, smarter, thinner (some even roll up like a piece of paper) refresh faster and cheaper than ever before.
