I don't know. I look at Heroes and it is cool the things they can do AND keep a storyline but those are very few and far between. But I also look at shows like the old Twilight Zone, Lost in Space, Star Trek (the Original), Wild Wild West and so on. They relied on visual effects but they relied more on storylines. Today it seems the opposite is true.
Plus, in my opinion, I enjoyed the art form that was special effects. I remember as a kid watching a documentary on how shows like Gone With the Wind had created their scenes and to me the way they came up with them and breathed air into those ideas and made those scenes memorable is far greater than anything that can be done on a computer.
When the 3-D eye wear and sensors that affect all human senses become available to the public, then maybe I'll buy into CGI. In other words, I wish the money spent on developing CGI was spent on finding ways to use technology to help people walk, talk, see and hear. Maybe allow people who are in hospice or bedridden be able to put on a helmet and relive their memories and make new ones using computer tech.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
