Reading Passage GAT 1/52)

When asked about the future of TV and of video on the Internet, people

reveal profound differences in attitudes based on age groups, We asked people

ages 12-64 if they agreed with two statements about the future of TV and

competition with the computer for entertainment time. When asked whether

they agreed that the computer increasingly competes with the TV for my

entertainment time, 29% of people said they agreed or strongly agreed with

the statement. Males overall agreed at a slightly higher rate than females, and,

importantly when looking at future trends, the younger generation of 18-to-24-

year-olds was considerably more focused on the computer as competition for

the TV; 36% agreed vs. 29% for the total population. Only 25% of 35-to 44-

year-olds said the computer competes with the TV for entertainment. When

we asked consumers if the Internet represents the future of video viewing,

the group that agreed most strongly was the 18-to-24 group with 28% of men

agreeing and 20% of women. Clearly, the 18-to-24 population is leading the

way in adopting new paradigms for entertainment.
