Artificial sports presenters
By keeping control over their virtual tellybod and broadcasting it to everyone in the traditional way, they are missing a trick here. Surely in the age of mass computation power and user choice I should be able to design my own tellybods to present the information to me. And there should be multiple configurable choices available so I can choose whatever I feel is best for my current mood. On a cold Winter's day for example I might want the sheepskin coated, comedy 1970s bloke with massive sideburns shivering in virtual sleet relaying the info. And why stop at humans? Sometimes I might prefer some mermaids, or a robot from another tv or film franchise. Or a purple tortoise. Or a character from some Michael Moorcock-esque sci-fi allegory who is really just a metaphorical cypher for an abstract concept, with a name like Ossian Shine.
