I don’t know any work at home businesses that routinely use television routinely. If they do it’s likely local cable or public access, not network TV.
This Google expert says traditional TV is about dead.
I think he’s living in his own little cyber world however because what he says presumes the easy access to high speed internet. You can’t download video or audio quickly on dial up!
Given what’s on network TV, it seems to be killing itself without the internet’s help. I routinely select DVD’s for our family to watch. Most shows are just too brainless.
This raises the question, having a limited channels with comparatively high ad revenue financed the creation of shows requiring high tech special effects and “stars”. Will the “democratization” of TV entertainment mean we’re only watching stuff that’s the entertainment equivalent of what people already post to You Tube?
From The Telegraph UK
Vint Cerf, who helped to build the internet while working as a researcher in America, said that television was approaching its “iPod moment”
In the same way that people now download their favourite music onto their iPod, he said that viewers would soon be downloading most of their favourite programmes onto their computers.
“85 per cent of all video we watch is pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download it all the time,” said Mr Cerf, who is now the vice-president of the Google, the world’s largest search engine.
