Digital Video Revolution

I came across a site called Chat the Planet yesterday. The initiative brings TV to the web and addresses issues such as youth culture, activism, and materialism.

In my opinion, Chat the Planet and other sites like it highlight two major trends that will change the world of television in the Internet:

  1. Increased penetration of broadband worldwide.
  2. Lower time and monetary costs of individuals creating and distributing digital video.
As these two trends develop, I think we will see an exponential growth in the amount and diversity of digital video content online. The implications of this are many!
