In this episode of Tech-N-Logic, we try to explore the topic of Cable TV and Streaming.  This idea came from a personal friend of mine and I decided to try and tackle it.  I try to answer four major questions in this episode. 1) Is Cable TV Dying or Dead? 2) Will streaming replace cable as the main tool for consuming TV? 3) What is the current streaming landscape 4) The logical future of TV consumption?  These are easily all episodes in themselves, but I tried to touch on each one of them with as much information as I could and tried to come at it from personal perspective and a logical thought on each question.  Trust me, you will definitely want to hear my bold prediction at the end of the podcast where we discuss topic number four.

As I mention in the podcast, you can find references to all the information I rambled on about below. If you missed an episode you can check out Episode 1: Autonomous Vehicles and Episode 2: Foldable Smartphones with the links or my podcast page here Tech-N-Logic Podcast Site

Part 2 - Streaming and the Future:

Cable One - 7th largest cable provider - has been moving towards providing broadband and when customers want to cancel TV, they don't try to stop them, but instead educate them about other streaming services that are available. - Reference #1 below.

Essentially we have established that streaming services are operating very similarly to that of cable companies by providing tiered access to their content to entice consumers to "upgrade" in order to receive all the content that they received prior to cutting the cord.

Types of Streaming Services:

Part 3 - Logical Future of the Television:

With streaming everything on the internet seeming to be the future, is it even necessary to own a TV in 2020 and beyond?
