Television: Yesterday's Product.

I'll admit I'm a fan of Youtube and NBC Universal Online. I go online and watch videos probably a few hours a week.  After reading a blog on Mashable I was shocked to see that U.S. Internet viewers watched a record amount of online videos in October than they ever had in a one-month time frame.

The article stated that out of 182 million video viewers in the month of October, 42.6 billion videos were viewed (that's 21.1 hours spent watching videos per user). I could not believe this number and over half of these views were on Youtube and other Google sites.

I suppose the question I really have is this going to effect the number of television viewers? Today, we can watch television shows on Hulu and put our DVDs into our computer. With economic times being so hard, will people not want to pay for cable television and save money by watching their favorite shows via the Internet? I predict that the television will be an outdated product one day. Who doesn't enjoy watching videos on the Internet and being able to skip through commercials? I enjoy this.
