During the outbreak, watching TV shows has become the most popular activity, according to a survey by Chinese market research company Guideline Research. The survey also points out that people have many ways to watch shows apart from cable TV. They include smartphones, computers, and tablets.
It's true that TV is not usually watched on an actual TV anymore. Technology has not only changed where but also how we watch TV.
Streaming(流媒体) networks, rather than live TV, have helped viewers watch their favorite shows when it's most convenient for them. In the US, content providers like Netflix and Amazon Prime keep people entertained. Users can choose which services offer the shows and movies they like.
Binge-watching(刷剧) has become a new trend due to some companies releasing entire seasons at once. Without having to wait for next week's episode(集), viewers can watch the whole season in a day, or at whatever pace(速度) they choose. Netflix has also released a choose-your-own-adventure movie, where your choices can affect how the story ends, an idea not possible before with traditional TV.
User-generated(用户创造的) content apps like TikTok are also blurring(模糊)the lines of what is considered TV. This may be the biggest change to the TV landscape, as anyone can compete with professional, big-budget(大制作的) TV shows. This trend shows no sign of slowing down.
a. Users can watch programs anywhere and anytime.
b. Users can change content.
c. Users can enjoy a whole season at once.
d. Users can choose how the story ends.
