I have the impression that with video streaming, You Tube channels, etc. that technology is bypassing traditional TV broadcasting. It’s bypassing cable and satellite TV. We have heard for years now about people cutting the cord for cable TV. Technology advances and is changing things.

Someone told me that even as movie theaters have reopened after covid, that many movies are being video streamed at the same time they are in theaters. Movie theaters as we know them may well be bypassed by the technology as well.

My prediction is that many forms of video streaming will decline in popularity once two things happen to it that contributed heavily to the decline of cable TV:

1. The costs go up.

2. Advertising becomes more prevalent, intrusive and tiresome.

I would think VR technology would be booming, along with its media content. Don a VR helmet and explore new sensations like never before. Not saying its healthy. “Amusing Ourselves to Death.”
