It's obvious that the internet has changed since it's full consumerization in the 1990's. In my opinion the major change that has allowed super growth of the internet is the speed at which consumers are able to download content. Can you imagine trying to download YouTube videos on a 56K dialup connection? I mean people are still doing it but to really grasp everything the Internet offers, and enjoy it, you need a high speed Internet connection. I now live on a 3000K connection and I could never go back to a slower connection...spoiled for sure. All this high speed shtuff has laid the foundation for websites like Hulu.com. Downloadable video content blew up with YouTube, and now Hulu.com is trying to do the same with premium video content. It's just plain cool, and FREE.
What is Hulu.com? Hulu offers U.S. consumers a vast selection of premium video content, on demand, free and ad-supported: full episodes of TV shows, both current and classic, full-length movies, thousands of clips, and much more.
Now I can watch that Tom Brokaw Report I missed and my favorite Make Me A Supermodel episode...you know the one, anytime I want, for free. And it doesn't stop with TV, I can watch movies for free too.Here's more nuts and bolts of Hulu.com, it's the "web's most comprehensive selection from more than 50 content providers including FOX, NBC, MGM, Sony Pictures Television, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, and more to deliver premium programming across all genres and formats, television shows, feature films, and clips." (That's straight from Hulu's site)
Check it out.
Oh...one thing I found that I don't like about Hulu. No LOST...yeah, that's a problem, but I can get those from ABC.com.

Man I was just going to ask about LOST. I missed last week and tried to watch it on line but it had issues and was a no go. I was stuck just reading the recap. I get to watch this Thursday but it's a repeat. Whee.
To say my wife and I are addicted to LOST would be an understatement. I can say with 90% certainty that LOST was the main reason I purchased a 47" LCD TV and HD programming. That and my XBOX360.
Yeah, total bummer we don't get a new episode for 4 weeks but I guess we knew the writers strike would affect it somehow.
