I agree with what those sites say, but did you notice (or at least I couldn't find any) no stats about Internet or computer usage? In my home, PC's are used about as much (if not more) than TV's. And the TV(s) is/are playing a movie (DVD, VHS, etc.) more often than "regular" television.
Sorry, bak on topic. I agree also w/ Geo; if it doesn't affect me, I really don't want to watch 8 hours of live coverage of people milling about the streets of NYC....
Just my $.02...
There was a survey of some sort recently published by some media group that showed 18-35 year-olds are now spending more time surfing than watching television. Needless to say the TV networks will be paranoid about this, and the advertizing execs will be furiously brainstorming for ways to cram more advertizing into web pages. I've got an excellent pop-up and banner filter myself and hardly see ads anymore. Very nice. |
