And what do you choose? TV - forever?


Today we are offered a lot of resources to look through the online video or TV, or listen to the radio. Will a web-TV replace a regular TV? I think that it is unlikely in the near future. I personally listen to the radio through the Internet, but I do not have enough speed to watch TV with his help - the picture is constantly stopped.
I think that many of you have the same problem. The high speed internet has not been properly developed yet for television to move to the network. Of course, we can already see a lot through the Internet, but to watch TV broadcasts is still not accessible for everyone.
As a result of the Harris Interactive agency study, the average American spends from 30 minutes to 2 hours a week for on-line news. At the same time, 13% of respondents stated that their attention to other information sources has not diminished after the advent of the Internet but it was changed. And 57% of Americans say that they actively use the internet but still watch television and read newspapers.
In addition to Internet resources where you can watch the internet TV, there are special programs which are installed on computers and show the Internet broadcast-TV, Internet radio and video. Each of these programs has a certain base of TV stations, radio and video.
You can add links of the stations in this database which you found by yourself. So, if the speed allows, you can collect your own list of Internet-TV, radio and video.
I think that as soon as the high speed Internet will be publicly available, then the television will switch to a new level. The whole television will be the Internet-TV. Do you think it is really needed? Will it turn to be a reality? Does a conventional TV have no chance indeed?

Hi again! To me, it's very convinient to listen or to watch something through the Internet. You don't spend a lot of time & can do it even on your job! Yes, I think, you're right - soon Internet will take the place of TV & many other things.

you will probably laugh but i do not have a TV at home already. i mean that i do not watch it at all! All news and facts that interest me I find on the internet. the speed of my internet is not good enough to watch TV films from the internet but i can watch some separate videos on topics which are interesting for me.

look, perhaps Internet will substitute TV entirely, but not too soon, and besides, let us remember that there are a lot of people who are still earning in TV-sphere, and they won't loose their income
