Some people are saying that watching TV streams on a PC screen is a step backwards and why would anyone want to watch TV online?
Having to wait whilst a TV stream loads, watching it on a tiny screen, having to be connected to the net. Why do it? However, in contradiction to this statement, how comes every TV network and large organisation on the planet is pushing video and TV content onto the internet and into our homes?
The big question is though, will this TV streaming on our PCs uproot us from sitting on the cast in front of the television set? There are many people now that have thrown out the TV in perquisite of watching TV via their computing machine screen.
The reason for the prolification of websites such as Hulu, Youtube and all of the Television Networks coming online, is because they all know that this is where the time to come belongs.
You will be able to play games and music, program shows, browse Ebay or Facebook. Order a pizza. And that is something you would never associate TV with 5 years ago.
The Networks are all mired and the public occupy is high. So why arent we all watching online yet?
There is a bandwidth issue and the slow loading times of some streams have been an issue. But with the leaps and bounds in technology and internet TV development, soon everyone will be literally forced to perish watching online.
