The future of TV | Liz Evans | TEDxUoN

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The ways in which we watch and understand media are changing faster than ever. With attitudes and trends constantly in flux, Dr Liz Evans is trying to figure out the future of television and online media.

Her research explores how the complicated smartphones and technology embedded into our daily lives has changed how we share and watch stories. The days of advert watching, pilot series and weekly programmes are running out as catch-up TV, online platforms and tablets at our fingertips transform our viewing experience.

Liz shares the exciting discoveries she’s made so far and outlining the challenging and exciting journey that lies ahead for TV and media in the 21st century.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
