Acknowledging a trend

Pacey Says:

As the internet gains prevalence as the greatest source of information technology that humanity has ever known, current staples of information gathering will become obsolete.

As I write this, I am checking back to the Eskimos/Al's game on TSN.ca.

Live streaming of television on the internet will increasingly reduce the need for a cable feed, and my high quality computer monitor is reducing the need for a bulky, single-functional television. Moreover, internet sites provide television shows without commercials. Thus, a new model for television broadcasting using the internet is immanent. Television industry, get hip, and don't go the way of the music industry went down. Don't fight the technology, work with it.

I already cannot imagine buying a radio, as virtually any station in the country now steams around the world via the internet. As car companies begin to take notice, internet streaming will replace normal radio consoles. Look out long distance telephone companies, as the internet will also encroach on your ability to charge for long distance calling, as people will call each other over the internet (via videophone, no less).

See, via the internet, you get all of my valuable insight for nothing.
