The way most things are going it won't too long before a Bluetooth interface will be standard on display/monitor/tv sets to link to your mobile phone. When problems occur with your set, you call a service number and voila! Service data is downloaded directly to the manufacturers service center (probably in Korea, Japan, India, or China) and the defective part is determined. Replacement user modules will be plug and play once the part arrives! Basically, you link to an RDM (remote display management) team for service.
If the consumer needs in home or counter service assistance then they may get lucky to have a retailer with "Geek Squad" type help. However, for less technically able retailers, it's reaslistic that help would come by unskilled, untrained, uneducated, poorly equipped help hired by larger retailers. Small independant business will disappear pretty much completely...the way mom and pop stores have disappeared over the past 20 years to the WalMart giants of the industry. Certainly not a pretty picture for independant small business owners in Amercia. Polish up your life skills and dust off your resume!
