Since television was created, it has been a part of many communities, friendships, and families. First of all, television means to access a lot of information. However, it consumes a lot of time, which could be spent with your relatives. In the past, family meetings were more common, eating with friends was something that made friendships more important. Nowadays, things are different. Television has an influence on people, providing more distractions and bias about how we see others in life. In summary, television can be a good device for a short period of time, but it does not replace a personal relationships. Too much television can ruin relationships.

Same goes for music. CD's are making ways to digital downloads via stores like ITunes. So for TV, there will always be a place for high production value quality content, but insteadof coming through your standard television set at a pre-set time, it is switching to being delivered via the net. People will stay pay for the production value and the convenience of TV shows, they just want to view it when and where they want to.

Thanks for that! I dropped my satellite TV subscription a year and a half ago (and live out of range of broadcast signals). I never listen to the radio and I don't purchase newspapers (but I do buy books fairly frequently). Pretty much all my media needs are satisfied through the internet (and that's how I purchase books). I agree that the internet will never completely replace radio, newspapers, or TV, but as you point out it has had one heck of an impact on them!

Online is where it's at. Hard core people still have cable, but after the horrible digital switch I don’t know anyone, without cable, who uses their TV anymore. Online is where it’s at.

Sure, online video is coming to a TV near you, but the experience of watching television PASSIVELY isn't going anywhere. People just love their stories... Online video is all about engagement. I think TV will incorporate metric measurement tools and engagement features of online video, but that will be an optional thing for viewers. Also, don't ever underestimate those who control the pipes. Several YouTube Web Celebs have created and are successfully running profitable channels - but organically finding a large audience will become trickier and harder. Also, YouTube has changed their messaging rules so that programs like TubeBlaster Pro used to spam the shit out people to gain subscribers aren't nearly as effective anymore (seriously - so many top YouTubers did this). Online videos can organically find an audience, but as google continues to bring their "Adwords" philosophy to YouTube and beyond, "organically" will still happen - but right next to Google's "payola-auction" for programming. What will change is how we pay for our TV. Will there ever be a subscription for a "show" instead of "channel"? Will we be able to buy a season of "Dexter" instead of subscribing to "Showtime"? What if Lucas had a Star Wars TV movie event that you had to buy in advance? What if FX dropped Sons Of Anarchy but DirecTV offered a whole season for $75 in advance? I know I'd pay for that.
