    Fun fact: the new thing for kids during the 1800s were comic strips. Comics were such a novelty. Kids would either skip dinner or bring the strips along while eating. Needless to say parents weren’t happy with this new marvel. Some even banned it from their homes thinking the comic strips were turning kids into mindless drones.
    Next came books and magazines, then Walkman, handheld electronic games. Fast forward to today and we get kids on their phones during dinner. Basically it’s the same shit different day scenario for every generation.

    I like to hearken back to the days of television. I’m quite young now, but the only streaming services I was familiar with were UA-cam and Netflix, so I didn’t use those often, but would watch TV with the family every now and then. It’s only recently that I started using streaming services consistently and I really only watch TV with my father when I get the chance. My dad is an older style person, rarely using his card and sticking with cash, along with mainly using television, though he does use Netflix and Disney+ to watch movies. We all should admit it that radio most likely won’t die out for at least a while, as that majesty from the 50s and earlier is all in our cars, just displayed better.

    - TV is less convenient than internet
    - Censorship of mundane things like swearing on TV
    - TV has more Ads depending on the service
    - TV has restrictions on and/or bias of the media
    - Why pay for both cable and broadband when broadband can supply the same content as cable as well?
    - Simply more content available on the internet
    - Even cable alone is in many cases costlier than broadband alone
    - Internet is interactive; mostly encourages engagement rather than passive viewership
    - TV has government controlled channels like BBC or Russia Today
    - Internet doesn't have as much government interference, if there is, then it can be easily circumvented by VPNs or Proxies

      I don't know how watching TV shows from my TV is less engaging than from a streaming service online, but whatever.
      But yeah, TV's golden age is long past. Thankfully, a bunch of people in the TV and entertainment industry managed to keep up with the time. TV won't be defined by cable or satellite anymore, but more as a medium. I mean, it's better to watch the Superbowl from a large TV rather than your phone or computer, right? Which is why we got all these smart TVs, so you can use the internet on a bigger screen.

    The problem with streaming services is that the traditional broadcasters are starting to catch on: why should NBC let Hulu broadcast their stuff when they can cut out the middle man by starting their own streaming service? Disney hasn't taken their stuff off of Netflix yet, but now that they have their own service, it's probably only a matter of time. I think that as more and more companies do this, they're going to realize that consumers aren't willing to pay for eight different services at $10 or more per month. If they were willing to pay that much, they'd just get cable or satellite. In response, these companies will probably start to merge their services. WarnerMedia, Viacom, and Disney have big enough libraries to stand on their own, but the smaller ones will probably form joint ventures. Hopefully, it'll get back to the point that you'll still be paying less to get all of the stuff that you want for less than a traditional service, but I think the days of $30 or less per month are behind us.

      I want a return to the days of just needing at most 3 $10/month services to get everything you care about. Or atleast options to have free with ads (that better be well timed, meaning not mid sentence) as an alternative to paying for no ads so i can watch the 1 worthwhile show and see if its actually worth paying for.

    I think the thing that killed the tv more than the internet is: just how fucking expensive it is, the fact that half the time you spend watching TV your spending watching adds you don't wanna see, and the fact the TV channels usually are separately sold from the main TV service and are time sensitive. Hence notice why most of the major TV networks now provide internet services

    @13:35 I remember wanting to catch up on a show in 2008, what you would do is watch one show and have 2-3 episodes also loading so that _most_ of one would be done by the time you finished one. Usually it took twice as long to load an episode than the length of that episode, but considering the alternative was either spending $100 on a dvd set or not watching it at all it was the start of something, anyway.

    Just a small misconception near the beginning of the video, the broadcast CBC was putting out wasn't in 30p, but technically 30i. You see the old CRT of the day used an interlaced resolution, which is different from the 1080p we are used to today. So when he made the comparison to 1080p, it wasn't quite the best explanation.
    A better example might be what video quality might of looked like in a broadcast later on when CRT was still relevant (like a 480i broadcast)
    Definitely not the main point of the video nor was it very important, however I thought for people who might want a better understanding would appreciate this.

It was booming in the 90s, peaked in 00s, and just plummeted from 09. He explained it looked like a cartoon going out of business graph.

      Of course, it's just in order to get good internet while driving all over time you gotta have a data plan in your car radio, because otherwise you're gonna gain and lose wifi signals every so many feet. Right now the airwaves are more convenient and they cost nothing to listen to. Having said that I do occasionally plug my smartphone into my car radio using one of those audio jack to cassette tape adapters so i can listen to iheart stations.
