Considering we buried her the day Princess Diana crashed in Paris that would be somewhat challenging.
You do raise an interesting point though, I’d hypothesise in her later years using apps at all would have been almost impossible, linear channels or otherwise. No internet in her household (it was the 90s, after all), in fact only got a landline in the final few years for emergencies.
She got on just fine with 1-4 and Sky, until Channel 5 launched on UHF 37 and messed up the VCR.
My guess would be as people live longer with deteriorating health issues (such as dementia) a simple interface will be essential for any hypothetical “streaming” future. So primitive it will be linear over IP, with on demand and app menus. Like a Sky or Virgin interface now. If it ain’t broke and all that.
