Hello YouTube goodbye Cable?

So my roommate and i had cable the first semester.   But then we decided to get rid of it, because it way too expensive.  Guess what?  I don’t miss it!  I can watch everything i want on the internet, whenever i want, without commercials.   This brings up a couple of  questions.  For example, what is going to happen to cable?  I imagine it won’t go away anytime soon, because there are enough people who are more comfortable watching tv on the television than on their computer.  However, i do think that the format of tv will change.  I imagine it will change to an on demand format, more similar to what you would find on YouTube.  Another point worth making is that youtube has introduced a different kind of video experience.  They are generally clips only a few minutes long, just enough to experience a thought or an idea.  Exactly how this will affect the way we think about television, i’m not sure.  But it is interesting to think about!
