Well on the television at present we have the great likes of 'Coronation Street' and 'Eastenders' probably the most boring and unrealistic programs made. Well how about we improve television shows using the aid of computer technology.

Well how to improve television using computers? I am not talking about improving the start of 'Neighbours' by adding some fancy graphics or improve acting in 'Emmerdale' by reminding the actors their lines through a small earpiece or whatever.

My idea is........ well let me ask you a question first.

" How many of you would watch a computer simualtion soap?"

I know I would tune in for a few episodes of 'Sim Life' and see what is happening with my favourite sims. Seriously though in a few years time we could improve the idea of 'The Sims' to create a soap using computer animated characters - of course there would need to be improved graphics and much better communication between characters than the orignal game.

To make the game better - you could enter data about humans and how we behave under different circumstances and releationships then we let the game run freely with only a few alterations by the producers - it would be relistic - no more wooden acting - no more cheap sets and well much more fun kind of soap to watch. I think this would be a hit....

Well lets face it, it would be more watchable than half of the noncense on television these days. :D

I think there are enough soaps on at the moment without anymore. Yuo idea could work, but all the dialogue would have to be programmed in from the start, and the interaction would. It would need to be very soffisticated to be realistic, and not get repetetive.

It could be good if it worked, I'd rather watch it than most soaps. I'd prefer the paint drying channel than most soaps so that's not saying much! It's a promising idea.
