All of television should take note of these numbers. Today’s television programming is mostly a worthless waste of time and none of our grandchildren, ages 10-24 watch TV. They are on their phones texting…no one calls any more either…or they are on their video games. The elderly snooze in front of their sets, but how many products does that sell? Television has had its day.

What does not get reported is games recorded and watched with FF through commercials and halftime BS.

Have friends in New England that record Patriot games and meet up at a designated house 2 hours after kickoff to watch games and fast forward through the barrage of commercials, penalties, injuries and replays.

Television has had its day.

On an episode of the original Star Trek Mr. Spock states that it "did not survive long beyond the start of the 21st. Century".

YouTube is to television what Napster was to the music industry in 1999.

Every MINUTE, hundreds of additional hours of content are added to YouTube. Granted, 99% of what gets posted there is garbage but that other 1% is entertaining enough and you would need several lifetimes just to skim through the good stuff. And remember, hundreds of more hours are being added every minute and their are BILLIONS of videos sitting there already. Included in those videos is pretty much every episode of every TV show and every movie ever made (except maybe the current ones that YouTube is constantly pulling down for copyright violation).

As of 2017, it is estimated that would take 200,000 years to watch all the video already uploaded.

So how does television cope with that?

I don't think anybody under 30 watches traditional television. Just like in 2000, nobody under 30 was buying compact discs anymore. Today, there is almost nobody buying compact discs.
