Is The Traditional Way Of Watching TV Dying?

It is a story that has surfaced several times in the past few years and one that is difficult to answer: Will on-demand services take over from TV’s all together?

The popularity of on-demand services has sky-rocketed over the past few years and most households now subscribe to an on-demand provider such as Netflix or Lovefilm. This accessibility of media and the development of our domestic habits mean that our entire viewing habits have changed vastly.

The Guardian reported this week that the only time of year that we return to being a large family sat around one TV is Christmas, and the rest of the year it is increasingly rare to see a family regularly sit together to watch a single TV. With on demand being available on almost all electronic media it is becoming far more common to find each member of a family in a different room with a different device watching a different programme or film. The idea of television being social has changed, and people no longer watch TV together but rather watch it alone and talk about it to friends and family on social media.

Thankfully though, the emergence of smart TV’s (and attachable boxes that turn your TV into a smart TV) which allow people to view on-demand services on their TV set has helped to keep the TV manufacturing industry buoyant. Whether they are with a family or alone there is no comparison to be made between the experience of watching a TV programme or movie on the small screen of a tablet or laptop and that of watching it on a high-quality television set. Here at Electronic world we understand the importance of the viewing quality and are excited about the prospect of a world in which every programme you want to watch, be it new or old, can be screened on one of our surprisingly cheap LED TVs.

No longer will you have to squint at your phone or wait for your laptop to buffer the content you want to see, you can get all the depth of content on a far bigger screen. So whatever the outcome of traditional TV channels versus on-demand services, you can rest assured that a good quality TV will always be a rewarding investment.
