Televisions were first created in March of 1925 by Scottish inventor John Logie Baird. The television was so revolutionary because for the first time people could watch motion pictures and silhouette images. As the years pasted the television was constantly being re-created and you want from regular black and white images to now color. Having theses images in color created a new realm for the television and with the never-ending advances in technology you saw the constant innovation being placed into televisions. Look at modern day now, you can literally speak to these machines and they will listen. You have pre-installed applications, downloadable content, internet access, global access and etc. The innovations within televisions are amazing but why do it seem to a certain extent that the use ‘regular’ television is dying? When I say regular I am referring to the use of digital television not streaming services or subscriptions.

I remember growing up as a child and checking the daily television guide to see when my favorite TV show was coming on so I could tune in. Now I don’t even think to pick up a remote unless I’m watching a live sporting event. The reason for that is the society that we live in today.

The above chart shows that digital antenna television is soon to be non-existent with the access to streaming services and subscriptions. Especially with the rise of generation Z and millennial’s, they have created a want for an instantaneous society. With gen Z and millennial’s being the future of the world, society must adjust to the desires of them. People no longer have the patience or desire to wait! You see this across everything in life now. E-commerce has become the biggest market in the world thanks to the laziness of us. Streaming services and subscriptions allows users access to hundreds maybe even thousands of shows at just a click of a button, you no longer have to wait for a specific time for a show of your choosing to air.
