When it comes to young americans, Internet television is getting the big thumbs up and are increasingly watching TV shows via the internet rather than the traditional (old fashioned) ways.
The report by Solutions Research Group conducted with 1200 people in November 2008 shows that young Americans in the 18-34 age group 70% have indulged in some Internet TV viewing, which compares favorably with 36% who have used a hardware recorder such as TiVo to view TV content.
Interestingly, Americans who watch online TV has doubled during two years. In fact half of all US Internet users have viewed television shows online which is a massive rise from 2006, when it was only a quarter of internet users.
Hulu was also shown to be growing in popularity with 24% of online Americans now familiar with the TV show and movie website, a rise from 15% last summer. It is still a male dominated activity though. Two thirds of viewers are males average aged 33. This is however great for advertising as it is a lucrative market.
It was found that females tend to go direct to the major network's website as 54% of network visits are female, average age 39. This could be due to the fact that popular shows with women such as ABC shows 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Desperate Housewives' are not distributed widely other than the network's own website.
It is of course not a surprise to see younger 'tech savvy' consumers doing more online including watch TV. The benefit of being able to watch what they want, wherever they want is great. Especially with the popularity of laptops and other portable devices. And anyone who has been on a train or bus will confirm that all the youngsters are staring into their ipod or other mobile device. Probably watching 24.

I think everyone is pretty clued up on P2P networks and Torrent sites. They are used to download files such as movies and games etc. They do have their uses, but the main drawbacks are that your IP address is recorded which may come vback to haunt you. Plus the fact that the download speeds sometimes crawl along or stop entirely.


I was therefore interested to hear about Alternative and anonymous Downloading from a website called Usenext. This is a Usenet service
So what is Usenet i hear you ask? Well basically it is a Newsgroup or group that has noone in charge. It is not just a file sharing program and it has been around since before the internet and works in a different way to the net. So we have discovered that Usenet is not:-
not a P2P network.not a forum.not chat software.not the Internet.not censored.not illegal.not a Torrent site

Erm. So what is it then? Well basically it provides users an area to post in discussion boards messages and or files. The groups cover many topics. And because your activities on these groups are unmonitored its appeal is pretty high
UseNeXT have software that makes it easy for anyone to browse the millions of topics/discussions happening in the Usenet and find what you require. UseNeXT's software automatically uses a fast delivery server, allowing you to download anything from Usenet at your Internet connection's maximum speed. Plus, you are also guaranteed that there will be no limitations when it comes to your download rate. The great thing about Usenet is that there are no restrictions on space, so users can post massive files to share.
Anonymous useage
Heres the Wiki explanation on the useage
'Establishing the identity of the person posting illegal content is equally difficult due to the trust-based design of the network. ..most P2P users distributing content are typically immediately identifiable to all other users by their network address, but the origin information for a usenet posting can be completely obscured and unobtainable.
Also unlike modern P2P services, the identity of the downloaders is hidden from view. On P2P services a downloader is identifiable to all others by their network address. On usenet, the downloader connects directly to a server, and only the server knows the address of who is connecting to it. Usenet providers do keep usage logs, but this logging information is not casually available to outside parties like the RIAA'
So basically you get an unlimited choice at the fastest speed with no tracking of your IP. It is much better and consistent at downloading than peer-2-peer or torrent sites. And an extra bonus is that you don't have to share. So at last your able to make the full use out of your high speed internet connection. You can actually download at maximum speed with no restrictions on download speeds.
