For example, with recording the show the night of but not actually watching the show that day, it will still show as though you watched it. And once you get ready to actually watch the video, you will still need the television to play what you recorded.<br /><br />Also for those who are not fund of the computers yet or at all will still be using the television to watch their shows or whatever on.Jamie Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17997201522712679330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441371132981572841.post-1792342003985859462011-12-04T16:57:20.668-08:002011-12-04T16:57:20.668-08:00The last sentence I meant to say they might not ha...The last sentence I meant to say they might not have cable programs...Jordan Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265351073133686244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441371132981572841.post-43062743047467459362011-12-04T16:54:30.319-08:002011-12-04T16:54:30.319-08:00I understand the view on how Television is becomin...I understand the view on how Television is becoming obsolete. I would not say that the television is becoming obsolete though. The internet has just become another way of viewing our TV shows, etc. Without television broadcasting none of these sites, like Hulu, would even exist. In today's society television is not obsolete. But in the future I could see shows just being broadcasted off their respected TV channel websites. And that would be the way of viewing our shows. But I think people in the general sense would rather sit on their couch with remote in hand and watch their favorite show. I think, at least for awhile, the internet is not televisions killer, but partner. If you look at more of like a relationship, the internet feeds off of television. Until a big move is made to watching shows strictly off of the computer, television will be around. <br />In the future it's hard to say whether it will in fact become obsolete but it is definitely a possibility. So the possibility is their, but there is nothing that shows it is becoming obsolete. An overwhelmingly vast majority of people still watch television just on their TVs. Even people that watch their shows online, still watch TV most of the time, you have even admitted this yourself. Internet is just another tool in which television is viewed, just like DVR. Without television itself, none of this would even exist. Until television moves strictly to online, television will be around. <br />Also in regards to Mike's comment, the television will still be around in the future because of children and their low tech savvy level. You also have to keep in mind the older population. What 70 year old person would rather watch CNN on their computer rather than on their TV. I know all of my grandparents only use their computer to check emails. You also have to think about the less fortunate who can't even afford a computer or internet and rely on television. They might have cable programs but they at least have the basic channels.Jordan Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265351073133686244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441371132981572841.post-58398391703713897272011-12-01T14:36:58.616-08:002011-12-01T14:36:58.616-08:00I like how my comments in real life transcend the ...I like how my comments in real life transcend the internet. In the past week I've been exposed to a new observation. Some of my friends allow their young children (toddler age) to watch television content on laptops. I guess this makes sense for the control of content. So in a sense, small children *are* becoming more tech savvy and the devices they use allow for the personalization and immediate delivery of content.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085240281653403818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441371132981572841.post-31186647878801944302011-11-30T20:27:44.133-08:002011-11-30T20:27:44.133-08:00As a child, my parents had used TV as a baby-sitti...As a child, my parents had used TV as a baby-sitting device as they finished their work for their respective jobs. They did try to put programs on that had some educational quality.<br /><br />I do agree with Michael that TV is not obsolete at younger ages because children are not computer savvy. Later in life though, TV does become obsolete as we become computer savvy. The internet provides viewers with more opportunities and activities than TV. I believe that TV will become an aid to entertainment on the internet, instead of an alternative way to watch programs.Nabihah Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803132884488265563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441371132981572841.post-46152663714173721612011-11-30T08:01:00.668-08:002011-11-30T08:01:00.668-08:00Consider an interesting comment from Michael Wong ...Consider an interesting comment from Michael Wong regarding young children and their lack of computer literacy: television will not become obsolete as long as it remains low-tech and accessible for them. <br /><br />Of course, television is perhaps a significant baby-sitting device as well.gbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435049339082622611noreply@blogger.com
