Technology gets cooler - the Nintendo Wii allows users (gamers) to keep track of the real world while gaming: you can follow the news and weather on the Wii system. In addition, you can even surf the web through the Wii console. This might sound like a systematic combination of technology features (similar to PS2 users being able to play DVD's on that system) however, I see this as a handy tool that will allow users to stay connected to the real world.
