when I walk into a dorm
room and see one, my
first thought is, it’s
unnecessary, almost a
waste of space.” (12)

5. Netflix Takeover
In the
future, Netflix
will know exactly
what you want to
watch, even
before you do.
You won’t have to
spend all that time
browsing through
endless lists of
shows on your
television (3)

6. The way
shows are
becoming
popular
are
changing
radically!
Shows need to be
worthy of being
found, networks
need to make them
as accessible
across multiple
platforms as easy
and frictionless as
possible (9)

7. Recently, Millennials
have been moving
away from TV and
have been viewing
shows online
“In recent years,
the television
industry has seen
viewers
increasingly
gravitate towards
online streaming
video services
and shunning
pricier cable and
satellite
subscription” (7)

8. Now in order to receive
what show you want,
you have to bundle
with different servers

9. “If you want to get access to a lot of
content you're going to have to pay for
several services. You'll choose between
Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime, basic
cable, Hulu or Showtime. Or maybe
you'll just get all of them” (5)

10. Television providers are becoming
concerned with Cord-Cutters

11. “Cutting the cord means a
consumer no longer has pay-TV.
They have decided the cost is
no longer worth it” (9)
“Driving the cord-cutting phenomenon is a host
of factors, from rising cable subscription costs
to innovative consumer electronic devices that
deliver the Internet to television and television
to the Internet” (11)

12. Cord Shaving
“Cord-shavers have had pay TV,
but they have decided to go down
to a much more basic package.
They may just pay for a channel
like HBO, but they no longer want
ESPN” (9)

13. “Cord-neverers are generally
millennials who have moved
out of their parents' house, but
who have never paid for cable.
There is no value to them to
pay for TV.” (9)

14. “The Internet has
created television's
scariest generation - a
generation of viewers
beyond the control of
the incumbent industry
giants, disdainful of
copyright, enabled by
digital plenitude,
unwilling to pay for
bundled content
packages, and highly
adept at finding
alternative sources of
visual
entertainment” (11) Photo: Ryan McGuire

15. Another reason Millennials are not watching TV in the
traditional sense is because of the cost.

16. “If you look at what the pay-TV bundle
costs nowadays, it is $70 to $90 a month
compared with the content costs of the
bundle, which are around $45” (2)

17. Millennials rather use services such as Netflix because of its
accessibility and convenience

18. “Younger viewers are also far
more impatient when it comes
to accessing their content…
54% of the millennials will stop
watching a show because it
was too burdensome to
access” (1)

19. Binge Watching
“Entertainment
is fast
becoming an
all-you-can-eat
buffet. Call it
the Netflix
effect”(6)
Photo: Ryan McGuire

20. “Video on demand, or the Netflix effect, is ushering in a
mediated culture of instant gratification, infinite
entertainment choices, and immersive experiences in
televisual fantasies that combine drama and realism in
irresistibly fascinating and spectacular ways”(6)
Photo: Thomas Leuthard

21. “Changing technological paradigms are altering customer
preferences. Consumers have embraced smartphones, laptops,
tablets, and different forms of wireless internet. In turn they are
adopting an anywhere, anytime, any device lifestyle and
increasingly demand this access from all of their service
providers” (12)
