Nice dream :) It could be achieved to a certain extent using the sorts of remoting stuff you are referring to, think something like VNC has a 'view-only' mode? But in practice it wouldnt be ideal for most people to do it that way?
What I hope is that online tools make this sort of stuff not only possible, but great, and will evolve to a level where it is very easy for people to collaborate simultaneously on something, or just sit back and watch others using the tools. I would guess so far that online video editing, slideshow, presentation etc online web apps are still in their infancy, but once they reach a certain level of maturity, sooner or later someone will add some crazy features that blow the lid on a rich new spectrum of collaborative possibilities.
