Future TV

Well, ever wonder what people will watch in the future? Many imagine giant wall screen TV and I think it will come. As the price of HD (hidef) and UHD (ultra hidef) come down most will be able to opt for a home cinema to watch their movie.

However, the distribution of future TV is over the internet. People will not use DVD or eek video tapes in the day that follow. Those will join the 8 track tape in the museum of ancient arts. Many will prefer the ability to stream movies over the web over having to travel to a video store to rent the latest show.

For some reason broadcast TV dies out. Perhaps we are seeing a similar thing with newspapers which are all going digital and away from paper. It is far cheaper to send video over the web than to build high towers.
