3 new mediums



Youtube.com is a very incredible innovation on the internet.  This new medium can share ametuer user defined content on a mass scale.  Anyone can upload videos and have them commented on or critisized.  This helps perpetuate the free flow of thoughts and ideas all over the world.




 
DVR/TIVO is another revolutionary idea that has evolved from normal cable.  Users have the ability to record their favorite shows and programs and store them to watch at a later date.  This is huge because it not only messes up the way tv ratings are gathered, but it also gives users the ability to fast forward through commercials on prerecorded programs.  It also gives us the chance to pause live tv shows and rewind if we missed something.



 
3D video technology is fastly becoming more and more popular.  Tons of new movies in the theater are offered in 3D.  Since it is thriving in the movie theater world, it is only natural that it should be brought to television.  The first round of 3D televisions are emerging and they bring with them a new era.  The way society watches tv is going to change, the fourth wall is coming down.  Now viewers can be apart of what they are watching and feel like they are in the world and be immersed in their programs among their favorite characters.  Television will be much more realistic, and we can reach out and touch the images we see.
