If you have not already noticed, watching television is declining worldwide. And because less people are watching the TV, there’s less advertising revenue to go around. This then has a knock on effect and there’s less money to spend on making TV shows.

So why is the demise of TV happening so fast? TV is simply old and boring technology. It can not compete with the multi tasking, interactive internet tv and set top recorders. The only people still sticking with traditional TV old folks and babies, because these are the only groups that dont surf the net.

TV networks are slowly reacting to the challenge by putting their content online. However the only really standout site is the BBC’s TV website. Other networks are putting content on a website to view as catch up tv, but where is the innovation? Why cant we watch any tv show or movie by just pushing a button? Although the technology is there to do this and it would bring in much needed revenue, the industry is reluctant to change and adapt to this new age.

There is so much potential to have interactive tv shows and bring the viewer into the action, but we still have networks looking to put their content on game consoles! Really innovative guys

Someone or organisation have to drag the TV industry into the computer age. Adapt or die, if not the industry will become like the dinosaurs that they have become.
