Watching TV via an internet connection. What a great idea! The attraction of it is that, like all internet connections, TV by the internet will be entirely freed from month-to-month bills. You will only need to pay to get access to the net, not access to the TV.
The incredible thing is that when the world starts watching TV via the internet, a complete new wave of interactivity will blossom.
As a substitutefor just watching a TV show, you will be interacting with the program. Voting on Dancing With The Stars will likely be right there in your remote. You will not need to make a phone call or go to your computer to vote. You can stay on your couch.
In regards to the direct response advertisements. You understand, the ones where the whole lot is only $19.95 and you get bonus after bonus? These ads will probably be more practical than ever because they're going to be more interactive. With only a flick of your wrist on your remote you'll be able to go the the advertiser's website online and find out extra concerning the product.
Better yet, you can go to a forum regarding the product you just saw on TV and get other folks's reactions to the product. You may get free reviews of the product by actual people who are really using it. Not just some TV promoter's hype.
You will also be able to react to TV shows. What if the show you were watching allowed viewers to make feedback on the plot? Possibly even change the direction the plot is moving?
How about information programs allowing individuals to submit comments about the news of the day? The comments would be correct, unedited and direct from people who are watching. It will be true democracy.
