Now What Traditional?
So I read up on a company called Roku,
A little box that connects to your tv and and interenet. Pretty much lets you access what ever you want to watch from Netflix and a few other company right now. You know Netflix and their DVD via mail, well now it’s streamed through the net. Freaky, very, but way cool. What is so cool about that? Lots of things, for one, I’m not waiting to see what is next on TV, I can see what ever I want, I don’t have to deal with commercials and ads that I don’t care to see. But wait, that was done a way with Tivo, and these DVR boxes from the satellite companies? Not quite, Tivo and DVRs do not allow me to watch unlimited amounts of movies for one monthly fee. What they gave me for $50/month were 200 channels, that I don’t watch and the channels that I do want to watch is full of ads that I don’t care about. Well, besides the Geico ads, they are quite comical.
It’s not like I watch movies all the time, but when I do I’d like to pick from a gazillion rather from an outdated list of crap. The net is changing how we do things, that is why traditional stuff will change.
I would hope that Roku has other things in mind, like games, accessing other channels via web besides just movies. I’d elaborate more on this but then it would never end, so we’ll have to post it the future when the product is ready for such a topic.
