A bit pessimistic
Boing Boing has an entry on a piece of furniture that doubles as a day bed and a dining room table (like what my friend DS has). Cory has odd quote, "One prediction: devoting an entire room of your downsized home to a television is going to be as weird as devoting a whole room to storing coal."
This is highly unlikely.
Houses are getting bigger and bigger as societies get richer. The average home size in the United States is now 2,200 square feet, up from 1,400 square feet in 1970, according to the National Association of Home Builders. TV's may have a slightly shrinking portion of the family's entertainment time budget, but it is still the biggest item. Speaking of the biggest item, anyone who has been to a Best Buy in the last few years knows just how big TV's are getting. One of my coworkers just bought a 50" TV, trying hanging that in a room without it being a center of attention.
