Coloring B&W films has been done to perfection with computers, and the next step is reworking old 2D TV films into graphic High Definition 3D.
World Wide Web Smarthouse dot com etc
Yes, so........ 
The smarthouse article mentioned that 3d TV would be available by 2010. That's 18 month from now. The Cable TV companies would be gearing up to be able to supply the the high tech digital decoding/recording boxes that work like a video recorder on steroids(But there's no tape, Its digital chips). There would have to be films made in 3D available to be viewed. Large 3D LCD screen televisions would have to come down in price. The digital decoding/recording boxes would have to be able to be plugged into the home computer to enable a multitude of programs/films/series to be recorded at once and transferred/offloaded to the home PC's external usb terabyte hard disc drive. This could be a marriage between the home computer and the 3D television set as-well as a marriage between the Internet and Cable TV.

Considering the amount technology that has been condensed to fit into mobile phones like the i-phone and such with Internet, two-way video transmitter and television set in the mobiles then the natural progression would be to evolve the flat-screen computer monitor into a 3D flat-screen television set that plugs in/bluetooths into the computer with the cable TV digital recorder/decoder. And when the mobile phone is connected to the computer and someone gives you a video-call the picture would display on the computers monitor and recorded on the computer external hard disk. One terabyte would be able to record 400 hours of 2D regular digital definition video.
