*****  Ha! Highly unlikely and a prime example of narrow minded dreaming!
(projecting current tech [by definition already outdated] as if it's the far
future) By then they will finally have realized that it's crazy to limit
anyone's viewing pleasure with any specific screen size or proportionality.
That factor is far more a limit of manufacturing skills than of presentation
desirability.

Take away the current mfg. limits and the entertainment industry will change
accordingly, though it may take them awhile to want to change. Another
century seems long enough to accomplish that part unless someone destroys
the infrastructure of industry in the mean time, in which case we might be
happy to have a 9:9 view of Black and white in the year 3000.
