“Rumours of the death of traditional TV may be somewhat exaggerated but, says Motorola Mobility, demand for anytime, anywhere entertainment and social media connectivity is driving the most dramatic industry convergence in the past 20 years.
Indeed, the 2011 Motorola Mobility Media Engagement Barometer– an independent global study of video consumption habits among 9,000 consumers in 16 markets – predicts no less than a redefinition of the home ecosystem driven by online engagement and social TV, mobile TV, personal cloud services, and home automation.
Viewers seem to have an insatiable desire for content and connection and are engaging with digital entertainment and social media that enhance the traditional TV experience. In fact the survey suggests that consumers’ desire for constant connection is influencing TV and video consumption, which accounts for an average of 15 hours per week worldwide. Germans now watch an average of 18 hours a week of TV and video compared with 14 hours in 2010; in the US viewers watched 21 hours of TV per week, an additional two hours than in 2010.”
