It really should be no surprise to everyone that our society is moving into digital form and being spread out on the Internet. Satellite TV gives you access to hundreds of channels, but it is on match for the Internet, where you can find and download many thousands of episodes of shows.

Torrents are the more illegal, though still widely used, form of online content. But now we are seeing more and more content being moved online by the networks themselves. Hulu has made long strides towards offering high quality TV shows online, and iTunes and Netflix have started "renting" out videos and shows, as well as selling them in some cases, over the Internet.

Soon, we will be able to find everything we want online, from TV shows to movies, and be able to stream them straight to our computers or TVs. Microsoft is doing a lot with the xbox 360, which is set to allow movie and tv streaming and downloads.

My question is, how long do you think it will be before online video takes over?

There should be no doubt (at least, there is none in my mind) that everything will move online eventually, but companies like Sony are hindering this with their introduction of Blu-Ray. Once the majority of content is on the Internet, will there really be a market for Blu-Ray or DVDs?

To me, the future is the Internet. I rarely purchase DVDs anymore, I rarely watch shows "live" on TV, I stream them in my browser. I'm guessing that this is becoming a very popular option for a lot of people. It is often cheaper, and nearly always more convenient.

How long until Online Video and Internet TV takes over?
