Recently, a new type of television has entered the market…Internet TV. Since hearing about this new Internet TV I’ve realized that myself and my family have the habit of being on the Internet via laptop or smartphone while watching our favourite shows on TV. And now these two activities are captured into One convenient package. Another Comm 296 buddy of mine, Angel also talks about this new category and how the additional Internet aspect to this TV provides a relative advantage over satellite and cable TV. She mentions how the consumers are able to watch shows and talk to friends about it through social media (Twitter and Facebook), forums, blogs, and reviews that can be found on Youtube. I definitely agree that the convenience and new enhanced entertainment experience this new product provides will draw consumers into purchasing the Internet TV. For cable and satellite providers like Bell and Shaw to stay in the game, they will have to step up their competition and consider perhaps a variation of this product. And maybe now I won’t have to use my laptop while watching TV because the Internet TV allows me to have the best of both worlds…
Consumers are starting to get excited! Here is one excited Youtube vlogger ShayCarl who says that the Internet TV is the “Wave of the Future.”
