I want you to think about how you and your friends watch television or other for
I want you to think about how you and your friends watch television or other forms of video programming. In your main post, I’m looking for you to talk about some of the following issues:
What does it mean to you when you say you are “watching television?” Or is that even something you talk about?
When you watch video programming, what are you doing? Where does your programming come from (i.e., broadcast TV, cable TV, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc.)? What kind of device do you use to watch it?
Tell us what and how you watched the most recent video program you’ve seen. (If what you watched most recently is something you don’t want to talk about, tell us about something you watched in the last couple of days.)
How important are mobile devices to you and contemporary audiences when it comes to watching video?
How do the video habits of your generation (and you) differ from those of your parents (or your children)?
How much do you pay a month to access video? How much would you be willing to pay if free options went away? What is a typical amount to pay?
What is cord cutting, and how is it changing the video/television marketplace? Have you “cut the cord” or considered cutting the cord? Why or why not?
