The future of television is self-produced youtube (or other hosted) video clips. Why spend 30-60 minutes watching ONE show? Just invest that time in a MOVIE from the past 80 years of talkies.
And tv shows just go on and on and on for years. Who can afford that much time commitment?
My daughter got her boyfriend a Smart TV for Christmas. We haven’t figured it all out yet, but he loves the NetFlix feature.
While I don’t mind self produced videos, I’d rather watch a well a tv show that has well developed plotline that can take years to resolve itself. I tend to watch them in short segments, as I have time to watch them.
