Understanding new technology
- We now have digital tv instead of terrestrial (http://www.tvchoicemagazine.co.uk/useful-tips/digital-switchover)
- We now can view film an tv in HD on most tv's and films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television)
- We now have 3d tv and 3d films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_television)
- We now have on demand on almost all channels which means you can catch up on prgrammes you've missed on the internet or even on your sky box. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_on_demand)
- Animation has become a better quality over time for example:
Living Room of the future
In the future we are going to have technology such as bending television screens, 4D television in our homes and more.
LG bending TV and Transparent TV - These screens are about 18inches and one can be rolled up like a newspaper and the other is a television screen that you can look straight through. This article talks about the way that OLED screens are going to be the thing of the future.
"LG Display pioneered the OLED TV market and is now leading the next-generation applied OLED technology"
This article says that the future of television is in the technology we use.
- Holographic TV - This will be what you are watching project around your living room in a 3D way like holograms. Microsoft are currently working on trying to make this happen and are calling it IllumiRoom.
- Interactive TV - This is using movement and voice controls to control your TV. Xbox One want to enhance their Kinnect sensor "which could unleash a wave of participatory fitness and leisure products and services that provide personalised coaching in the home. A 21st Century makeover."
This video is basically saying that British television in the future could be taken over by big US media conglomerates.
What impact of US media companies have on the british television industries?
Channel four are saying that in the future the British TV industry are at risk of being taken over by media giants in the US such as apple and google. Also, people such as Rupert Murdoch who is a big US media conglomerate will start buying into the british television industries. I think that his could mean that Public services channels like the BBC could become more americanised and some of it's channels could be taken away. Also I think that if there are more channels you might have to start paying more TV license. Commercial channels could be affected because the more channels that come to british television, the money they receive from advertising could become smaller and not have as much money as other channels will need to be funded by adverts as well. British television could become more competitive as a result of this.

What is the ethos of the BBC? To inform, educate and entertain
What is the BBC for? Some say that the BBC could take advertisements and that these would not necessarily lead to the introduction of commercial breaks, the absence of which is a BBC attraction. However, this would put the corporation in direct competition with already hard pressed commercial broadcasters for a limited pot of funding. Direct subscription has attractions and would be more feasible when the television world is totally digital. One problem with this is that the ‘free at the point of delivery’ feature of public service broadcasting would go.
What is the future of the BBC? complete digital television switchover should have been in place for four years. People will be choosing between a wider variety of alternative channels and consuming television content in different ways, including video on demand.
