I'm so old I Remember when:

The tv says, "end commercial by saying McDonalds." The viewer does that and the tv goes back to the violent tv show. Interactive.
This is a world I do not know! Your TV speaks? You speak to your TV?
I am definitely too old for any of that.

Not sure how that's supposed to be nightmare fuel. Doesn't seem scary to me :confused:

Mine doesn't speak to me much beyond telling me the time. Or the remote wolf whistling so I can find it but I talk to it constantly....
Hey roku, turn on tv. Hey roku find Gran Torino. Hey roku turn up volume. Hey roku go get me more coffee.

Imagine you're watching TV in your living room. The lightning is flashing outside, and you know not what to expect.

You turn the television on. As it comes to life, you go to watch the weather report.

About half way into the weather report, the TV asks you to stand up and drink a can of Yukky Cola to continue watching. You don't have any right next to you. The wind is growing strong, and the house is creaking. As you dig around for your verification can, you see the sky turn green. You finally drink your can, and the TV continues the report. Unfortunately, a tornado is headed your way, and you run to your basement. You reach the door, and...

...It asks you to drink another can.

This time, you chug the can, the door opens, and you make it into the basement just as your house, along with all of your verification cans, get swept up by the tornado.

The end.

@ShrekDawg I think Moony is trying to tell you something.

George Orwell's "1984" had something similar. The people had to workout every morning and the instructor could see everyone through their tv. She could even yell at them to work harder

I believe they have exercise bikes that have a screen with an instructor. I wouldn't be shocked if they add an AI instructor that yells at you.
