What Happened to Television?

How and Why TV Has Changed So Dramatically in the Last Decade with Brian Rose. Watching television used to be a fairly simple enterprise, you turned on the set, selected a channel and enjoyed your program. Now, television is changing in front of our eyes. More and more viewers are cancelling cable television, preferring to watch new online-only channels like Netflix or Amazon. An entire generation of younger viewers have given up on the TV set altogether and stream programs on their laptop, tablet or phone. Tens of thousands of kids 10 to 15 years old have started their own TV networks on YouTube, bypassing NBC, ABC and CBS altogether. This presentation will look at these startling developments and explain why the old days of simply “watching TV” are fast disappearing.
