Another step from sci-fi to sci reality

It was revealed today that in the not too distant future, Japanese firm Toshiba will be able to produce TV wallpaper. For me, it sounds a ghastly idea, yet probably is the logical progression of flat-screen TV adavnces. Television wallpaper reminds one of the same invention in Fahrenheit 451 that was used to neuter any discontent of the masses while their leaders took them into apocalyptic wars, by immersing them in an inescapable virtual reality - a place that the main protagonist of Fahrenheit 451 fails to persuade his wife to leave. Therefore, for me, television wallpaper is inherently creepy.
