DIGITAL MEDIA STUDIO

Digital Age or Digital Revolution, we live in EXPONENTIAL TIMES...the paradigm shifts, while the digital paradigm is shifting. Paul Valéry once remarked, "The future is not what it used to be. We cannot truly control, invent or even predict the future. However, we can hold a vision for it in order to inspire our efforts and actions. The future is not what it used to be, nor

is it when it used to be.

Negroponte concludes his book by stating that the future is here, now. Indeed, the future is here, now and the technological change is ongoing in what could be described as a non-linear continuum."

"Media is being consumed across an increasing number of platforms, including TV, the Internet, mobile, and DVR," said NBC Universal Entertainment co-chairman Ben Silverman. "The next generation of media will be defined by the players who can capitalize on those trends and

deliver integrated, compelling content across all platforms."

Big business awaits as TV content owners worldwide increasingly move online during the next five years.

Global online TV and video revenues will grow five times their current size to reach $21.52 billion in 2016 from $3.48 billion in 2010, according to London-based media research company Digital TV Research. One big mover will be so-called "Over-The-Top" (OTT) alternative TV/video providers that use the Internet to act like terrestrial cable operators and/or satellite programming services.

The report says: “The OTT television and video sector is on the brink of a huge take-off as the key players expand internationally, companies consolidat[ing] (with Hulu about to be sold to one of existing major players) and as new partnerships are announced on a daily basis.” Skyrocketing growth will also result as more global homes watch TV and video via the internet. By 2016, 415 million homes in 40 countries will watch online television and video, up from 177 million in 2010.

The Carmel Group senior analyst Jimmy Schaeffler said, "Now the power is slowly shifting to the consumer. These new digital technologies stretching

from DVRs to the Web are turning the business upside-down." Although

kinks in the model have yet to be resolved, the momentum is undeniably -- indeed, relentlessly -- forward. "It's very much a youth-driven revolution," Schaeffler says. "Technology makes digital distribution very desirable,

and the forthcoming generations will demand it."
