When asked about the future of TV and of video on the internet, people reveal profound
differences in attitudes based on age groups, we asked people ages 12-64 if they agreed with
two statements about the future of TV and competition with the computer for entertainment
time. When asked whether they agreed that “the computer increasingly competes with the TV
for my entertainment time,” 29% of people said they agreed or strongly agreed with the
statement. Males overall agreed at a slightly higher rate than females, and, importantly when
looking at future trends, the younger generation of 18-to-24-year-olds was considerably more
focused on the computer as competition for the TV; 36% agreed vs. 29% for the total population.
Only 25% of 35-to 44-year-olds said the computer competes with the TV for entertainment.
When we asked consumers if the internet represents “the future” of video viewing, the group
that agreed most strongly was the 18-to-24 group with 28% of men agreeing and 20% of
women. Clearly, the 18-to-24 population is leading the way in adopting new paradigms for
entertainment. (GAT March 52)
