The Internet is a growing encumbrance of information far too large to explore everything it has to offer. Recently, the Internet has been a powerhouse of video series. Not to mention, YouTube has been an up and coming epidemic for every college student in America and worldwide. Although video is not a new technology, digital video has only been around for a decade or do. The Internet makes it easy to view, post, and record video which is why Internet videos are so popular in today’s fast paced society.
I am a huge fan of Internet video simply because it is easy and convenie
nt. Point then click and you are instantly watching some of your favorite videos or television series. I have seen more recently that many television series are being posted online. An example of this would be ‘abc’ posting all of their television series online at abc.com. They have also developed some new series that are exclusive to the internet and are only available on this website. The website is easy to navigate and includes bios, most recent episodes, and for some shows earlier series are even posted.
On abc.com some shows are Internet exclusives such as Voicemail and Squeegees. When watching Voicemail, I love the fact that I am in control. I can pause the show when I want, browse the Internet at the same time on the same screen, or even watch any episode of the series that is posted in no particular order. Besides OnDemand features now available on television, this is a rather new technology of being able to pause a show and come back to it at a more convenient time. I know that technology is catering to our needs but when really thinking about this, it seemed a little too needy. Making sure you do not miss one ounce of your favorite show only promotes more television watching which seems to be a recent problem with children these days. Now because
of Internet videos, children and adults alike can watch what they want when they want it as long as an Internet connection is available.
Another feature I found great which is related to Internet shows is being able to now watch television shows on your cell phones because of their capabilities. PDA’s connect to the Internet and basically act as mini-laptops therefore, again if an Internet connection is available, count on not missing your favorite show.
The length of shows on the Internet seems to be shorter than a one hour television show but that is just because of the cut of commercial time. On abc.com commercials are shown but for never more than a minute which is another reason watching shows on the Internet is more convenient.
Internet and web access are ever advancing. Soon the Internet and portable devices will be like iPods, travel ANYWHERE at your convenience.
