I was asked that question 5 years ago I simply said "Flash Video".
Now my answer has changed. I believe the web is going to go entirely Flash Video Television. Fully interactive Flash Video Television is the future. Soon we will see websites and television combined as one entity. This technology is already here.
TV and Internet combined, AMAZING
Imagine watching your favorite television program, but instead of watching you can participate. You can actually control what happens in the movie. You tell the people on CSI where to look for clues. Depending on your choices the stars will either fail or succeed. If you choose correctly you get prizes. The options are limitless. I know it seems that we are years away from this technology, but I feel that with the current state of technology we could do this right now!
Would the market push this?
Yes! Most business would love to be able to sell their products online. With internet based TV you can buy products directly out of the commercial. Imagine social networking allowing you to connect via TV. I believe MySpace TV is going to be part of this future. TV social networking that allows you to communicate via the television, email and even video chat. Then when the commercial comes on you can actually buy the product directly out of the commercial with a simple buy now button. How would that work, well it's easy all things purchased through the TV will be charged to your cable bill. I can even see the internet searching for you to find the best price for what ever item you want to buy.
This is the future of the internet and the future is now. All we need is a few big players like Google to take hold of this technology. Oh wait, I forgot. Google TV is coming out this year. WOW. The internet has really grown.
