The Future of TV

What will TV be like in 10 or 15 years? This is a question that everyone is asking. But who really knows the answer? Is there even a single correct answer? No, because TV will be changing and evolving continuously to be able to keep up with the dexterity and usefulness of the Internet. Even with digital TV available to a large amount of people, the time spent on the Internet is still greater than the time spent watching TV. So, the question is, will Internet drive TV out of our lives, or will TV be able to make a comeback to keep from being exterminated.

TV has developed quite a bit since it was first built in 1925. In the meantime there are hundreds of channels available on a single TV, all easily accessible through the pressing of a button or two. In a few years this might all be voice activated. TVs will continue to be built more compact, so as to fit everywhere. Of course they will be built bigger as well, with better resolution. TVs will continue to become bigger (and smaller) and better. Of course a computer screen will never be as good as a TV screen, at the moment, but that could all change in the near future.

At the moment, the TV industry is still running, and with that, the advertising business is too. What would happen though, if the Internet were to become the primary supplier of movies and series? Would advertisers just move over to this new medium, or would hundreds of jobs be lost? Of course, new jobs would be created, however, there would still be a large amount of people not able to get another job. This would be a big problem for the economy of almost all countries.

If TV does for the most part disappear, then there will be no need for DVDs or video tapes. This is another big industry which employs a lot of people. Of course, a lot of plastic and paper would be saved, but that would all be used for something else. If TV were to be abolished, the economy would suffer a great blow. The entire world would suffer with the repercussions of the loss of all those jobs.

In conclusion, TV in the future will be very different to how it is today. It might be 10 years, it might be more, but there will be a big change, and we should all be prepared for it. It might be for the better, or it might be for the worse, only time will tell that. For certain though, is that the Internet will continue to be an important part of our lives. And for the moment, so will television.
