Shows on the Internet



T.V……what’s that? A lot of people may have forgotten that a television still exists. Most people rely on their computer or even their phones to watch shows and movies. For some people this is by choice but for people like me, it’s because we are never home to watch TV. People like me who work full time and go to school full time hardly know what a television is anymore. If you were to ask me what the big hit shows were now….I couldn’t tell you. The only shows I really pay any attention to anymore are the old ones that I always used to watch. Well, thanks to the Internet, I can look up my favorite show when I have the time. The Oprah Winfrey show is my favorite. Granite, I haven’t watched it in a while but I used to make sure I was always home at 4:00p.m. to watch it. Now days, since I am always at work, I use sources such as, Oprah.com, YouTube, TV.com and even ABC.com to watch her shows or bits of it. So, If I can’t make it home in time to watch it on the, “old fashion television”, I can always tune in on the Internet and watch what I missed. Again, this is all thanks to television and the Internet coming together. I think that the Internet and convergence has a made a big impact on the television industry. I think in January when people have to buy a certain kind of box to watch television shows on their TV., most people will rely on the more on the Internet than they already do. I think that may impact the television industry more than people think.
