So I've been curious to know how much computer technology has impacted television watching and found a very informative article pertaining to that and other things. According to the article, "American households that use the Internet have doubled their online television viewing. Now, nearly 20 percent use the Internet to watch television broadcasts online, and no, it's not all on YouTube. Based on a survey of 10,000 households, The Conference Board and TNS report that 72 percent of online households have family members who log on for entertainment purposes on a daily basis -- but they're also logging on from multiple locations. Nearly 90 percent watch online broadcasts at home, 15 percent watch at work, and 6 percent watch from other locations."
It goes on to discuss more about it and I completely agree with them in regards to that fact that the reason for it being so high is because people nowadays are really pressed for time. Americans are notorious for having more stuff to do than time and I'm sure most parts of the technological world are like that. So what better way to fit in our daily fill of the latest news, sports, t.v. shows, etc., than by logging on to the nearest computer or laptop and checking it out. Technology today is absolutely amazing and I am so grateful to be a part of the experience! Maybe someday I'll have a cool watch I can log into and watch Grey's Anatomy on while I'm sitting in the doctor's office! There's a lot more to the article that is very interesting and delves more into media convergence. If you're interested here's the website:
