After watching Children's Hospital in class I started to think about why this was developed purely for enjoyment via the internet. Just this afternoon I found myself catching up on my MTV reality shows off of their website. Due to my busy schedule between classes and homework I often don't have time to watch the shows when they air for the first time, so this allows me to enjoy these shows at my own leisure. This removes the need to highly structure the schedule of networks because people can watch when is convenient for them. With the introduction of the IPad the availability of shows online is a great convenience to many busy Americans. I know for myself in airports and such it is really a great thing to be able to watch movies or television shows when I’m waiting in the airport. This being an issue we already addressed, I also found myself reading the comments left by others below the small playing box about what others thought. This allows this idea of a relationship between the TV and its' viewers, the viewers and the show, as well as viewer-to-viewer communication; strictly criticizing their actions or displaying interest in certain scenes. Not only in this sense, but also through facebook, twitter, and other online friend based sights people attach links to watch as well as converse about their opinions, views, and interests from their shoes. When reading Internet Tv Should Be The Development Of A Revolution In Television I found it interesting that many producers have some problem with online tv because it does not have to follow the same production code as regular television. This is where I think a lot of conflict arises, not from viewers, but from behind the scenes. If the playing field isn’t fair there is bound to be some kind of argument – this is what has continues to be an issue since the development several years ago (in my opinion).
