1. The future of TV
I think that the evolution of the TV contains a lot of changes. And that we no
longer will use the television in the same way that we have been doing for the
last decades. Of course we will continue to watch programs and movies for our
entertainments sake. But I believe that the way we use and interact with the TV
is going to be different. There are already a lot of changes going on today and the
network and cable companies are trying to follow the new trends.
I don’t have a TV-
set and I haven’t had one for a couple of years. I use my computer to watch series
and films. Nowadays you can enter websites that allow you to watch nearly
everything online. This means that instead of having to wait for a certain day for
instance, Wednesday at 18 pm you can watch your favourite show whenever you
want. Streaming online gives the viewer more power. It also has other
advantages, people can rate and comment on programs or movies. They can
discuss different matters and interact with each other.
In Sweden al the big channels have something
called play. It allows viewers to watch the networks programs via Internet. The
different channels encourage viewers to visit their website. You can chat with a
contestant from a reality show, follow their blogg or watch and old episode of a
series. The website gives the TV more dimensions and allows people to be
interactive and communicative. I think that the viewer will have more power
over what programs they want to see and when they want to see them. I
also think that in the future the TV will function like a computer and that we will
watch everything online.
I imagine that in the distant future the TV-room will disappear.
Instead people will have entertainment rooms with screens and different
technological equipment like simulators. There is a 3D trend today and maybe
that is something that will be common in the future, all movies and series will
use this effect. There could be role-playing were you get to play one of the
characters in a show. Or you get to decide how a movie ends. With al these
effects the experience of watching TV will become more interactive.
I hope that the format will change also. If you think about it a TV is
quite ugly and takes up a lot of space. With time maybe they will get thinner and

something like an ipad and everyone having on of their own.
