The level of depth and breadth associated with any topic is the same for all viewers. In a very real sense, the nature of the medium is such that all viewers get the same picture. Imagine instead, that a viewer has access to a system that is actually watching television with him, in tandem, noting the kind of show, the content of the show, and the details of what is being discussed.
If this system was also capable of translating its understanding of the show into a set of information queries, it would be possible for a viewer to say "tell me more" and have that information automatically delivered to him. So You Say by IIL.
