In these hard economic times things such as cable TV are the first things that households eliminate in order to cut costs. But there is a solution for people to save money and stay up to date with their favorite TV shows, the Internet. In December there was a record 14.3 billion online videos watched which was a 13% increase from November. Hulu is an online database for TV shows and movies and is a substitute for anyone trying to cut costs on cable. There is a transition from TV to the Internet 24 million TV shows were viewed on Hulu in January a 25% increase from December, in a recent survey 20% of prime-time TV watcher say they watch TV shows on the Internet.

I think that there will be more and more people watching shows and movies on the Internet, just because of its convince and the fact that it costs nothing. The other advantage of the Internet is that there is no waiting for that one show, you can pick when and where you want to watch a show. I do not think that cable will ever lose all of its consumers but I think that the Internet will take a majority of them away.
