Thing 43 - Online TV and Video

I like this. Hulu is really fun and I can see how it could start sucking up a lot of time if you get addicted to it but so can regular TV and DVD's etc. It was fun to find some old Simpsons episodes and some movies and things to put in a queue. I watched a couple minutes to see how it looked and the quality seemed fine. I can see how they do this now because there are some ads you have to watch. At home we have a really nice imac with a large screen and sometimes I'll watch movies on it and the quality is great. I've been watching Lost on ABC and a couple times had to miss an episode. It was really nice to be able to go to the ABC site the next day and watch it in high quality and actually, even though there were online commercials there were not as many as on broadcast TV so it was better that way! It is another tool to use. I don't think it is really going to affect the way my family watches TV too much except for the fact that sometimes we'll watch sows we want to when we want to instead of always when they are on TV. Nice.
