Remember Just turning on the TV, flipping channels and watching a program?
The world sure has changed!
Watching television used to be a fairly simple enterprise -- you turned on the set, selected one of 500 channels, and enjoyed your program. Now, television in changing in front of our eyes. More and more viewers are canceling cable television, preferring to watch new online-only channels ike Netflix or DIsney+.
An entire generation of younger viewers has given up on the TV set altogether, and instead watch programs on their laptop or their phones. And tens of thousands of kids and teenagers have started their own TV networks on YouTube, bypassing NBC, ABC, and CBS altogether. This presentation will look at these startling developments and explain why the old days of simply "watching TV" are fast disappearing.
Take a break from the crazy election stress
