Behind the new technological horizons lies limitless potential for interactivity, high quality content and deep immersion in the virtual world. Predicting the impact of these innovations on our daily lives is a real challenge for today’s scientists and media strategists. After all, the future of the Internet and television promises unpredictable transformations that will reshape our perception of media.
How the Internet and television are increasingly integrated
The Internet and television are two of the most important technologies in our lives. They allow us to stay in touch with friends and family, get information and be entertained.
In the past, the Internet and television were two separate spheres: the Internet was used for work and communication, and television was used for entertainment. In recent years, however, these technologies have become increasingly integrated.
5G and 6G Superfast Internet
Entering the era of 5G and other high-speed technologies will allow consumers to access content instantly. Streaming platforms will become even more popular, providing the ability to watch content on any device in the highest quality.
The development of 6G or even higher technology infrastructure will enable superfast internet. Gigabit and terabit data speeds will enable instant downloads of large amounts of video, high quality content and real-time interaction without any delays or failures.
Personalized content
One of the most notable trends in the integration of the Internet and television will be to provide users with even more personalized content. Not so long ago, we were limited to what the television networks offered us. Now, however, we can use the Internet to find content that matches our individual interests.
Global interactivity
Whereas in the past we were passive consumers of content, we will soon be able to interact with it in real time. Technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have the potential to change the way we are used to streaming online and watching television. These technologies are already enabling more realistic images today, which can be considered a virtual revolution.
Going forward, VR and AR will become more widespread and enable the creation of content that will become part of the reality of Internet users and TV viewers. The future will bring hybrid content formats where the real and virtual worlds will merge, providing unique creative opportunities.
3D and holographic streaming
Streaming services will take streaming to the next level by offering 3D and holographic content.
3D streaming will enable the creation of content that is displayed in three dimensions and creates an impression of depth and realism. Users of TV and Internet services will have the ability to choose viewing angles, changing the direction of view depending on their own preferences.
Internet of Things (IoT) on a new level
In the future, the Internet of Things (IoT) will be more extensive and integrated. A variety of devices, from smart home gadgets to autonomous vehicles, will collaborate, sharing data and optimizing different aspects of daily life.
