Issues in Publication and Design: Web TV is Everywhere

It is obvious that television has gone through some major revolutions over the years such as the colour, cable, digital and even TiVo. At the moment, the industry is undergoing another transformation that all of us are more than ready and get excited. In older days, we need to watch television from our devices at the living room. However, in this modern era consumers opt to access television-style video content from electronic devices such as computer, mobile phones and portable gaming devices. It is also more comfortable for the consumers as they can access it from anywhere they want. They also were willing to pay at any cost although it might be more expensive even if they need to add their monthly bills or fees. They even do not mind to rent premium content from the studio itself. The survey shows that nearly 25% of them willing to pay at any cost for the services as long as they can view the content on a computer or mobile device. Web TV is a new form of media. It is more up to date and undoubtedly the easier way to watch television in this modern world. We can also watch our favourite programs that we missed online using streaming media. Here is a list of websites on the net that allows us to view TV-programs, movies and music video (Marcofolio.net 2009):

As we can observe, most of the audiences prefer to watch their favourite shows online using computer or laptop, mobile phones, portable video players and portable gaming players rather than the normal television. Hence, I have no doubt that the concept of web TV will definitely work compared to the traditional media.
