TV Online, is it the upcoming future for television? PBS Writes:

“In this age of content on demand, it’s hard to even remember the days when TV programming ended at night with the national anthem, leaving us no other choice than to hit the sack. Today, we can get TV from virtually any place on the globe, any time of day or night, often for free. The temptation to watch more and more is ever present as television content becomes more accessible online and over mobile phones.

Television programming has been online in some form for years now. I remember struggling years ago with choppy CNN video streams and Real Player clips and thinking, “what’s the point?” Now, fast broadband speeds are making the video-watching experience much more palatable, and TV networks are realizing that they need to provide access to programming online, or users will upload shows to YouTube or other file-sharing sites themselves. The desire to view content on our computer screens exists, and users have filled in the gap where networks have lagged behind, sharing television content with peers even as television giants decry copyright infringement. Plus, fans of shows have built independent sites to drive even more demand for online TV content.”

I personally prefer tv online to traditional television.  Not only are the commercials shorter, but you can watch on demand.  I no longer worry about missing the latest episode.  With higher broadband speeds, we no longer have to worry about watching choppy video.  Though, as PBS stated, “television giants are crying copyright infringement” it seems that the internet is a free for all place where it is nearly impossible to stop file sharing and the sharing of shows on the internet.  Rather than fight it, more networks should embrace the internet by allowing access to more and more of their tv shows online,
