TV on the Go is Revolutionizing the Couch Potato!

The advent of the television was a revolutionary technological advancement that changed the world. Not only did it create hundreds of thousands of jobs because of the need for writers, directors, set designers, executives, producers, TV stars, etc, but more importantly, it changed family dynamics. Families all of the sudden had a fantastic new option for spending quality time together. I remember being little and settling down each night after dinner with my entire family to watch our favorite television programs. Television became a way for families to come together and enjoy each others company by investing time in a common experience.

While television may have seemed like an extraordinary invention at the time, it was only one of the first steps in what has now been named the technological revolution. While technology has allowed the world to progress in so many ways, it has also distanced us from the rituals we once adhered to. It seems that the more technology progresses, the busier we get which means the less time we have to spend with others. Who has time to sit in front of the TV anymore? We're all too busy surfing the net, listening to our iPod's and talking on our cell phones. Many of us would still like to indulge in our favorite television shows, but the busier we get, the harder it is to sit down at the same time every week to watch the lives of our favorite characters unfold.

As technology advanced, TV ratings began to drop. It was feared by many that prime time television would slowly start to fade away. Then, television recording devices came to the rescue. The invention of recording devices such as DVR and TiVo has allowed us to record programs on television so that we can watch them at a later date. DVR allows people to record the shows they want in order to watch them whenever they have time to do so.

While this revolutionary technology has changed the way we watch television, it still limits our watching capabilities. How often do you find yourself somewhere other than home with some time on your hands and you think, 'I wish I could watch that episode of 24 that I recorded last night!' Well now you can! Further advancement in technology has broken the boundaries of traditional television once again and allowed us the ability to take TV with us wherever we go!

For years, avid viewers have been able to watch some of their favorite television shows online; ABC has become famous for: 'miss an episode? Catch it online at ABC.com'. However other television stations have been more reluctant to air full episodes online because they fear it will detract from normal TV viewership. Because of this, technological advances have gone above and beyond the television stations and have created devices that allow you to control your home TV from anywhere.

One program that has been created is called MobiTV. Founded in 1999, MobiTV is the leading provider and platform for content delivery via mobile networks.
