Are cinema and television dying art forms?

[cpvjqpa]

With the rise of the Internet and the appearance of video-sharing platforms like Youtube as well as file-sharing platforms, are cinema and television dying? Or, at the very least, losing their relevance? Is there something we can do to save them? Or should people involved in these industries simply recycle themselves elsewhere?

It will just evolve as we have seen with netflix.

Hmm... really good TV shows that are not on Netflix or HBO are not really being made any more. Lots of good shows were started between 2005 and 2010 but not many good shows have started in 2015 or later.

YouTube came out in 2005. At the time there was also Google Video but neither one of them was very popular until ,,,,,

2005 - founded
2006 - bout by google
2008 - worth 200 million and 13 hours of content being uploaded every minute by users

so, we can say about 10 years ago YouTube got massively popular

Netflix - streaming Started in 2007 and got popular in 2010 ? They were making their own shows in 2013 and started airing reruns of breaking bad in 2010? Having trouble finding exact info on Netflix ,,,, I am working from memory here.

I see cinema staying around as it is an experience to be shared with others. It is an event.

My monitors are TV's (40" flatscreen TV at Walmart for $140.00, really?) so with cable or satellite with internet I have it all.

TV by itself needs to die.

Markets will get smaller and smaller until it's hard to tell the difference between a microcaster and his or her audience.

3D virtual reality with aromas will replace TV.

Internet is a platform which needs contents … if movie industry dies … internet will lose contents …

Internet will aid movie industry to survive [as it's doing already now …].

Too many feature movies today are franchises, often superhero movies. Low or mid budget movies for adults are getting rarer, and frankly I miss them. This development is because of better TV's, better TV shows and streaming.

The mediums and techniques may change but the ART will remain the same.

TV is in it's golden age right now.

But Cinema is indeed dying. Most good "film" today is more for TV anyway, including Netflix's movies.
