The reason newspapers died was because you got yesterday's news, and the web just offered so much more. TV and the web don't really compare yet. Not in quality

TV and the web don't really compare yet. Not in quality, not in the viewing experience(can't really watching anything with more than 1 person)
- dmix 17y agoTV's "yesterdays news" is the fact I have to be sitting in front of my TV on Thursday at 8:30pm to watch a favorite show instead of being able to watch it when I feel like watching a TV show.

- philwelch 17y ago"TV and the web don't really compare yet. Not in quality, not in the viewing experience(can't really watching anything with more than 1 person)" Internet vs. cable TV: -Hulu: 480p. Cable TV: Not unless you have digital cable or HD. But that costs money. So does iTunes, but iTunes has HD. If you really want free HD, hit BitTorrent. Tie. -Timing: TV is either live or DVR'd (asynchronous with use of your own equipment). Internet is completely asynchronous, starting a few hours after the TV (BitTorrent) to the next day (legal services). -Viewing experience: TV can only be viewed on a TV receiver. The internet, and downloaded videos, can be viewed on anything from an iPhone to a notebook to a 22 inch TFT right next to the couch in a tiny studio apartment to a 72 inch HDTV. But hooking your MacBook up to a 72 inch HDTV may not be for everyone (though it's only as difficult as knowing how to hook the right cables the right way).
