New Interaction between TV and the Internet

Recently I have noticed a huge surge in new interactions between television and Tv. For instance there is a new premise in America where TV comedies debut on the internet and then people are able to vote of which tv show they dislike. Then finnaly the TV show is whittled to one and then mnakes it's series debut on TV. This is a new revelation thast people are able to not only decide what they wanty to watch but also change the way they now watch TV.

Now big TV networks are putting up large profile shows so they to can latch onto this new internet phenomenon:

Online Worlds Buisiness

Recently we see there is vasts amounts of money available on online worlds. Much like Myspace and MSN these sites give people access in theory to another world:

World of Warcraft and Second Life now have millions of people each day willing to pay a marginal fee so they can roam these fake enviroments.

Interactive Tv

Television is becoming these days more and more customised and individual:

People now have more access to features then ever before. Tournaments like the World Cup and Wimbledon give people easy access to different camera angles and different matches. Does this mean as Tv becomes more interactive that people will watch less and less tv as they can customise there own viewing experience:

HD Dvd's and Blu Ray Disc

Now that downloads are continuing to affect film box offices. Each year people are finding it better and more accessible to either buy a pirate copy dvd or download. So now big company's are trying to attract the attention they once had, Big company's sony are backing Blu Ray:

And Toshiba are backing HD DVD:

There is now a big battle between these two competitors. The Sony PS3 uses blu ray so primarily if the PS3 sells well this will mean great success for sony, possibly gaining a bigf win from the huge financial loss years earlier with the vide betamax player.

Videogames

Recently the games industry has become one of the most powerful forms of media. The games market now makes more money then the cinemas box-offices.

Recently we can see that even celebrities that help create games. High profile peopl who are involving themselves is what ten years ago would have been considered trivial and nothing really worth investing into.
