2. HYPOTHESIS
How, where and when users watch their shows
will impact how one views content. In the end
we believe that the future of TV is heading
towards high quality content that needs to be
viewed by a large audience instantly and on
the go. The Younger Generations i.e
millennials tend to shift easily between media,
