    The Evolution of TV and Entertainment 

    InĀ preparationĀ for tomorrow’s official Xbox 360 dashboard update, Microsoft has taken a look at the rapid growth of TV content all the way up to today in this infographic (click for the Web-ready version to enlarge):

    Along with the growth of content, we can also look at how the way we search for content has changed over the years–for instance, the infographic shows that the first remote control released to consumers in 1960 was called “Lazy Bones” and operated through a wire connected to the television. This is in stark contrast to controls we see today, including the voice recognition capabilities that will come with this update.

    The way we access growing amounts of video content is as interesting a problem as the growth of the content itself, especially from a hardware capability perspective–perhaps the day that 93% of people in the U.S. (mentioned in the infographic) will be able to access their favorite feature film with just the push of a button isn’t that far off after all.

    The Next Target: TV

    Apple and Google have tried before, but seems they both are renewing their strategies. Rumor has it that Steve Jobs left a strategy to take over TV to Apple. Google is thinking of leveraging both their actual pipes and YouTube as a professional content generator to get into the space too.

    If either of these work out, it’s big news to AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Netflix, Samsung, Sony, etc. It’s big news to all of us who still watch TV in a way not quite the same as we use the Internet (despite DVR and networked HDTV sets).

    Will talk about IPTV and Video over Internet architectures in a December lecture.
