Television. Television Everywhere.

Technology has changed the way we view television and where we can view television. I never thought that I could watch an episode of a show on my lunch break every day. Who knew that there would be a time where binge watching would be a real thing? The internet has evolved to a point where we can take television on the go. They have replaced the screens in cars as kids can now have tablets to play on a look at during long rides or road trips.  

Technology has made television all digital and television screens are now flat. Applications like Netflix and Hulu allow you to enjoy television on the phone, tablet or laptop which has changed the consumer’s expectations about television. Those apps along with a new comer ‘Sling TV’ have become an alternative to cable as it has become expensive. 

I was about to cut the cord recently but Time Warner was able to convince me to stick with them because it is more convenient and I will be able to keep up with my shows and now have to avoid social media. Technology has created a microwave society and it is no different when it comes to television. We can control when we want to view something without having to rush home because we will miss it, but if we do it can be recorded or can be seen on demand or via Hulu. Technology has allowed for the consumer to be catered to by being available upon request.
