TV and More in the Next Millennium

The technology shift from an analog based TV system to a digitally based infrastructure will forever change how the world views and uses the medium of television. It will also make both mediums dependent on a single parameter, BANDWIDTH. Though the distinction between the traditional TV and the Personal Computer will only be evident to the viewer by the content received rather than its underlying technologies, bandwidth will be the key factor in the industries ability to deliver content. The interface between TV and the rich media that will be part of medium will be presented. Emerging technologies including displays, security, networks and content and their impact, both direct and indirect, on the medium and our lives in the 21st Century will be discussed in this presentation but above all it will be bandwidth and its utilization that will dominate the industry and this talk.
