Is Television still going to be around in the future? With a lot of networks streaming episodes on their actual websites as well as Youtube and Netflix will there still be any use for TV when we can just watch it on our computers? What do you guys think???
Thinking of you, wherever you are.

The radio is still around, even though it's more or less been rendered obsolete by television and the Internet. I still even use it occasionally. I reckon that TV will be just as stubborn.

I don't really watch TV though, so it can just disappear for all I care.

I think the reason radio is around is because people can't watch TV or the Internet while driving or while working usually. I don't know what niche market that TV can hang onto, at least TV as we know it. It is more convenient to have a television in the room for when watching things with groups of people.

Yes, there is a thing called IPTV service for smart TVs (and those hooked up with a Chromecast dongle or Raspberry Pi).

Yes of course. TVs and computers will just be interlinked and fused together more.

There's not going to be much of a difference between the internet and TV in the future, but you will still have the same kind of cable packages and other bullshit. Live programming (such as sports and other events) will also still exist

Yes, but we won't have TV schedules. They'll be obsolete. Everyone will just pay for the shows they want and watch the episodes whenever they want. It's a better system anyway.

TV is more comfortable to watch things with than a computer.

I agree.. Watching Anime on my 55inch TV is sooo good. Especially when you have fluid fighting scenes happening right in front of your face.

Why can't the cable companies die already. All they do is steal money from you. I can't believe I have to pick a package instead of picking the channels I want.

The way TV is now, I'd be surprised if it's still around in TWO years.

Why not? Cable might be gone, but television will still be around for a while.

if 25+ years now the internet subscription is still expensive then ye it will be, here in the philippines the local channels on TV and even the radio stations are totally free you just need an antenna, so i can imagine if internet will be free here then of course TV and radio will become obsolete

Yes. The experience will be a lot different than how it is now though.
