Computers are no longer just used to type up essays or research information on, now they are used for all kinds of entertainment purposes. You can even watch movies and television shows on your computer now and the best part is you can watch them where ever you want if you have a laptop and you can watch them whenever you want at your convenience. On websites like Hulu.com you can watch full episodes of most popular television series for free. There also used to be a website, watchtvsitcoms.com, where you could watch any HBO series for free, but I'm pretty sure it has been shut down now. Besides websites where you can watch T.V. shows there are things like iTunes, where you can purchase episodes of television shows as well as movies to watch.
Why are people choosing to watch T.V. on their computers instead of on an actual T.V.? Perhaps since they do everything else on their computer maybe it is just more convenient for them to watch T.V. on it as well. Maybe some people don't have a television in their bed room but they have a laptop. Either way watching T.V. on your laptop in the library in between classes is pretty cool. Technology is advancing everyday and sooner or later we are going to have one device that can do everything we need on it.
T.V. on our computer could probably effect ratings on television because if everyone is watching T.V. on their computers then they won't watch it on television. Websites that allow people to watch shows are probably going to have to start charging a fee so the shows can profit from people watching them and incorporate the number of viewings online as well to not loose ratings.
