Video streaming and the Imagination Consumer

Video streaming and the Imagination Consumer

Groucho Marx once said that television was very educational. Every time someone turns on the television, I go into another room and read a book.

It was clear that television was stealing the imagination of people at the time. Television was small and could be seen in every corner of America.

MTV took the idea of finding meaning in songs to an unusual place. The association you might have with a single was not based on any personal experiences, but the video that was released to support it.

Ann Landers once stated, “Television proved that people will see anything rather than one another.”

As a collective, a generation lamented losing imagination while a new generation was ill-equipped to hear the lamentation song. The new generation was not content with the entertainment value of video, but demanded that it be portable. The former lamentation is now part of 21st-century life.

Paddy Chayevsky might have understood this shift when these words where written: “[Television] is the menace that every loves to hate, but can’t seem live without.”

Try renting a room in a motel to manage an outing with your family. This could be considered the worst punishment.

On-demand video streaming is now available on computers and mobile devices for this generation. You can catch up on news, sports highlights and the most recent real-life videos from YouTube and similar sites. They can also watch music videos and get video messages from their friends and family, all streamed directly to your downloadable device.

The New York Times reported in 1929 that TV would never compete with radio. People must sit down and focus on a screen. American families don’t have the time.

This sentiment proves that it is impossible to fully explain certain dynamic changes that occur from generation to generation.

Video streaming seems to be a rapidly growing phenomenon. It is the extension of television that allows for a highly mobile and on-demand world.

Video streaming is changing the way we communicate and, in Bill Gates’ words, “Where do I want to go today?”
