The Future of Television

[sarialkhalili]

This is the present not the future.....

[Ograws]

I use Netflix or letmewatchthis(dot)whatever. Screw Cable or Satellite!!!! 

[jadonSteve]

I think its going to be 6000 channels each 6000 from space and would be suround sound with a smell activater all in hd and 3d hooked up to a modem and you will get 6000 channels free

[goohber1]

gosh, how much dick this bitch suck to get on a secure job like this? it would be interesting to c if she's on a similar program when she's an old hag. my guess? not! she will be replaced by the next sexy young bitch. it's sad the world women live in, isn't it? but 4 now, she's another whore at the capitalist gangbang.

[techpkim]

Awesome!

[techpkim]

Awesome!

[Ldaytor13]

I love you Ellie, ur so gooood!!

[AhsanRafiq110]

Hey Ellie, I love your Program , yor info is really really great, nd u r soooooooo cute, God Bless u dear :)

[pponcho8245]

i think the future TV will be a wallpaper-like sheet that you paste onto a wall. the wallpaper TV will be as big as a person wants. There may even be full wall wallpapers. Then, these wallpaper TVs will have kinect like capabilities and advance voice recognition that will let people search and watch tv and internet tv

[srkh28]

TV's toast.

[MrFalcon1985]

She talked more about the past

[t0kenst4rt]

[Quezacotlable]

The internet killed Television!!

CTFxC FTW!!!!

[cojudo4life]

@Quezacotlable No, it'll make it even better in a few years.

[plasnoid]

Should be called the History of TV as 3/4 of the content is about TV's past.

One 'expert' that doesn't really say much, limits the relevance of this video. A well produced misleading --although somewhat interesting-- video.

[EcoDimension]

i stopped watching TV for a long time

[1waitandbleed1]

Well if you guys are involved I won't bother subscribing to any TV packages.

[Random1765]

No way a coffee table that has a built in TV! haha

[igykalen]

Keen way to expertly describe the future of something. State what we currently have and add "I think you'll see more of that".

[BRGxRandomHero]

more like a decrease in quality. tv sucks nowadays

[ghettobrown209]

she gave me a boner

[yusefben]

Love the updated graphics (your swipe got a little overused but you'll get comfortable with it soon), the lighting, filters (a little to washed out on the interview), and the faster pacing, You guys are setting the right example. It's crisp and professional while still be accessible. Go rocketboom!

[leopluradon57]

I like the idea of an integrated TV/Internet. That seems more practical than the 3D TV's that Sony is pushing. Our eyes arent even set to seeing 3D, just different shadings and depth. The 3D that they are pushing is just messing up our eyes and giving people headaches. Not cool sony :( If you wanted to make it seem like real life, invest in finding a new standard in High Definition, not 3D.

[Xantexhunter]

But...But...

Tay Zonday said the Internet will Kill my TV!

[chjrb]

Psst - smoker's polish for the nicotine stains

[FluffyBunniesOnFire]

The title is "The Future of Television" but very little was said about the future.

[Raganeau]

Ahem. Television was first introduced to the U.K. in 1926 and to the U.S. in 1927. The Nazis were also playing with the medium from the mid-1930s onward. No idea where you got this 1939 date, but Rocketboom's researchers sure fell down on the job with that claim.

[elspethjane]

@Raganeau I cited the generally accepted first public display of televisions, not when or how they were invented. :) There's lots of history there I didn't cover!

[OkNowImWatching]

I love Ellie's outfit, and I lol`d at the fact that ijustine turned up in the search. :-)

[ripplesinthefield]

Opps, sorry, Britain's first television broadcast, was on 30 September 1929. The first regular BBC Televison service started 2 November 1936.

[deadfalkon]

Why don´t you talk about hbbTV?

[MattTheSpratt]

Oh come on, no mention of John Logie Baird?

[JIYkp]

Old media moguls are far too stuck in their ways. If there's something just all around better, of course people will move towards that platform.

There is absolutely nothing advantageous of watching television over using the internet. That is, unless you watch more than 10 different series of tv shows which you would have to buy separately otherwise. But who has that kind of time?

[jason24568]

Ellie, you're so pretty! xD

[jason24568]

If a song "Video Killed the Radio Star", but today is the video doomed by the internet!!! "Internet killed the video star"

[Probewitch]

That was a nice little documentary. I think you have to distinguish between the machine and the program-style in order to have insight in it's future.

[Chinaman96792]

The internet killed Television!!

CTFxC FTW!!!!

[jason24568]

@Chinaman96792 Did you mean Video Killed the Radio Star? LOL

[Jobadu]

@Chinaman96792 No, it may had seemed likely to happen, but they will eventually fuse into the same thing.

[farrah1500]

your hair is pretty :)

[artvandelay13]

"From the past to the present, televisions and their programming have rapidly evolved from their first incarnations to what they are now."

Wow, really? They changed from what they were then, in the past, to what they are now, in the present? That is some brilliant writing...

[capslockissnexttoa]

@artvandelay13 I think the the key part of the statement was 'rapidly evolved'. Even so, she was stating the obvious.

[HewbertLarzToast]

I feel like I'm the only one who still likes to sit down and wait for a program to be on at its regular time

[hunt3rvall0t]

@HewbertLarzToast Ya I enjoy that sometimes more because then, a favorite show becomes more of an event but I hardly ever have the time anymore

[HewbertLarzToast]

@hunt3rvall0t Exactly :)

[cricketbat08]

computer technology is far too unreliable at present to supersede tv. At least tv sets don't keep crashing etc.

[capslockissnexttoa]

@cricketbat08 I think that's a massive over-generalisation, to be honest. I'd say that Windows 7 and Mac OS computers are pretty darn reliable. Definitely reliable enough to use all day for watching TV shows. In fact, I tend to find more problems with the televisions round the house than I do with my laptop.

[cricketbat08]

@capslockissnexttoa Fair point. I was generalising, but it is more or less how I feel about the situation. :)

[Stripdancer100]

Hmmm... Cool and interesting episode, but that "expert" couldn't hack it, in terms of prediction. It looked like he wasn't ready to answer so he began play the oracle articulating some facts which were not really inspired by a visionary mind. I was disappointed by his lack of actual prediction skills.

On the other hand, it's difficult to predict the far distant future because the progress is too complicated to predict it. Who can really get out of routine train of thought?

[j0m0r]

I hate television.

[Khronicks]

internet won't kill tv? i beg to differ...

CTFxC FTW!!!!!!!!

[Joci445]

I don't love television. Almost everything on it sucks.

[EveryDayForAll]

Thumbs up if LiveLavaLive brought you here

[BeatlesnicoleO13]

Big Bang Theory!

[scullface456]

I miss it when it took more than to have a show on Disney to be a "good" singer...

[hardworker424]

Someone actually said to me that GoogleTV will take over all TVs in 5 years. I laughed in his face. GoogleTV is just a shinier edition of WebTV which launched 14 years ago as of tomorrow.

Rocketboom Tech you should do a video paleofuturists.

[SashaLeeKay]

ijustine!!!!!!

[strober1997]

@SashaLeeKay what about ijustine?

[SashaLeeKay]

@strober1997 they searched her name at 3:11

[strober1997]

@SashaLeeKay oh i didnt catch that. cool. yay ij!

[flobber238]

Oh well it's a good job that the future of TV bodes well for Intel, according to their Consumer Experience Architect. Lucky he didn't calculate that TV will make Intel obsolete...

[raifsevrence]

I think the biggest changes will come within 50-100 years. I easily see actual tv sets disappearing for 3 dimensional holographic projectors, or something similar.

Afterall, the quantum computer has been invented. Wait until THAT technology starts to take off and become mainstream.

It will revolutionize the world all over again.

[scootosan]

at 2:22 isn't that the guy from REM and Ellie you are a stunning

[suntea17]

TVs sure have come a long way! O_o After growing up with 40-50in TVs it's hard to image watching anything on that old, small-small TV. Especially with a big family!

Thanks for the report, Ellie!

[elspethjane]

@suntea17 glad you liked it!!

[Jourei91]

I predict a 100 years and the TV's popularity will start to go down significantly.

[rickcheyne]

I get 300 channels and still most of the time there's nothing to watch. TV has a future?

[raifsevrence]

@rickcheyne From the sound of it, it's way past time you quit paying for craptastic cable/satellite television and simply got a subscription to Netflix or something like that.

If it's not On Demand, it's whack . Anything resembling a Tivo is just too much of a hassle imo.

Television needs to evolve into a 100% on demand service so that people can enjoy watching what they want to watch when they want to watch it without any kind of hassle involved.

15 years down the road ? No idea.

[Mazequax]

3D also ... >_>

[ToxicJungle1]

those apps are there not because of the fucking tv, it's because of the interweb porn, does this ugly bald smug know what the fuck he is talking about?

[ToxicJungle1]

I am so poor, I don't own a television

[Valdora56]

sooooo.... the future of tv is basically what they're already doing with tv?

[therealEmpyre]

You forgot to mention the addition of stereo to TV in the 80's.

[shaurz]

I hope TV dies.

[ald0sco]

I love how you don't try to make a cheesy fake smile at the end.

[mrdinh1]

cool

[bangNL94]

I'm also an expert in predicting how televisions in the future look like. :P

[The95Alex]

elly

[calistman222]

I couldn't stop looking at her eyebrows.

[12Fucitolz]

@jnthnbush Hell yea she does!

[mechachomp]

@jnthnbush short shorts pl0x?

[MrMagic1163]

What is going to end in the near future are the traditional TV-channels. Not enough people watch a whole evening on a particular channel anymore. The want specific programs and shows when they want it. On demand, as we like it from our internet culture.

So it's pretty logical integrating the internet with TV. YouTube channels are just a perfect fit for that. You now have some live shows coming, but mostly you see what you want and when you want it. Oh, and commercials will never be gone!

[SpeakMouthWords]

Ya hear that Charles Trippy? "The Internet won't kill TV at all"

[Edward306]

I could have told you that

[ReliableInsider]

The future of television is everyone producing their own television show and everyone watching the shows their friends produce. The future of television is . . . YouTube.

I just hope people keep reading newspapers or they'll be too uninformed to be able to vote and then . . . democracy disappears.

[PawlOwl]

lol! "increased quality"

[Manifusion]

I miss analogue. =<

[jnthnbush]

@Manifusion the FCC sold all of those frequencies to the cell phone companies.

[michalchik]

Wow, the vision of future TV we had 15 years ago!

[Supuhstar]

... he... didn't really say what the future is. Just the recent advancements.

[Verdoux007]

Nice legs at 2:21

[JosephCheetah]

I'd like to date Ellie for about a month.. not because she's cute and all, just so she can help me set up my Home Entertainment Center.

[NakedJKid]

errr... I was trying to pay attention but Brians head was distracting me. Was he wearing a bald cap? or has he been at it with a bic?

[gamerguycod]

im starting to think google owns television programming as well.thats why they are putting ads in our videos,to get us back to televisions.0_o

[thejobloshow]

Love this subject - wrote a thesis around it. The future of television is the future of technology = convergence.

[AvengerXP]

Is rocketboom having sex with intel?

[Martyj2009]

@AvengerXP I would if I could.

[thejobloshow]

@AvengerXP Nah, but they're funded by Sony.

[MrMoneyclips]

gorgeous woman talking about tv. awesome

[andreous7]

Oh Ellie... Your the Best!

[OmegaDeman]

Interesting.

[flimflos]

Wow. I had to write a paper at the end of June last year about the history of television and the future of the technology of television. This video would have been PERFECT for my research. sigh.

[cary123]

On Demand, DVR's, etc, are not part of your TV, there a external computer-like device.

[freespace21]

i like this tech episode.

[ReliableInsider]

It's time to introduce the most important of the five senses to the television experience.

It's time for smell-a-vision.

Cooking shows will suddenly spring to life.

[LifeInspector]

3D is what's next.

[stevebarnes2]

@LifeInspector LOL

[sasukeichigo12]

im still waiting for holograms.

[TheZarbodShow]

You skipped the innovation of Stereo.

[RetroGameKid]

We're already to the point where most people with HD cable use a DVR or TiVO to record shows and don't watch them live. They watch in their own time... just like on the internet. I doubt "Channels" will exist much longer. The idea just isn't popular. We watch what we want when we want it.

[jordanthewizard]

I like flipping channels, I don't want to have to go to a different website each time I want to watch something else.

[LfunkeyA]

ellie = win

[djtron1x]

I watch ALL my TV online anyway, so this is the natural progression as far as I can see.

[ImSoDumbMyHeadHurts]

lol... at first glance Brian David Johnson looks like John Malkovich :P

[CAlex6977]

There is no future of television.

[BigAndTall666]

I don´t have a tv and don´t want to have one either but i could do with a new large monitor! for my gaming consoles. :-)

[lillsecrets]

@BigAndTall666 Yes, because being a gamer is so much cooler than being a couch potato....

[krypekeeper]

internet killed the video star......

[AXSofHFDS]

if she was my teacher back in grade school, I would have failed her class because she is so distractingly beautiful.

[Sc4r4byte]

man that transitional wipe is overused... >.>

[MonterreyLegend]

interactive television

[capman911]

I can't believe some one gave sweet Ellie a thumbs down. Great job Ellie.

[AXSofHFDS]

@capman911 sometimes people slick...cocked eyes you know. what they don't know is that you can click "thumbs up" to change it. oh no, thumbs down isn't permanent.

[JetLash494]

ctfxc "because the internet killed television" lol

[GRIZZY1303]

where can i watch breaking bad? i have netflix and its pretty good but it takes for ever to get new movies or tv show on there.

[1sourjoe]

Charles Trippy told me the Internet killed television, now Ellie tells me otherwise. . . I'm so confused

[ErikaAtheist]

@1sourjoe It killed traditional television :P

[CakeFullOfLies]
