Industry report: Future of TV and Ads a.k.a. how Google earns money while you take a shit

Google TV, Apple TV, Tablets, mobile stream... There is this vertical in market that unites all of your devices. So on your way home you are watching a video on your phone, when you reach it, you can just continue on the TV, but after that you might wanna go to the toilet, so you can go watch it on your tablet. Yea technology is allowing us to watch TV anywhere. I am surprised how much attention is still being given to the TV. Netflix reached 50 million subscribers and each one of them is paying 8$ a month, no wonder they got into S&P 500. For anyone that thinks of getting a new TV these days, I recommend you to wait up for a year. 3D technology is something that will become widespread pretty soon and 

This is becoming a huge market and biggest fish in this sea at the moment in my opinion are: Google, Apple and Samsung. I believe that not many people realize how huge Samsung has become lately, with adequate support from Google software, and wide range of hardware support, we have a lot at our disposal. They make great phones, tablets, players in the Galaxy family. I am typing this article on Samsung led monitor, which I must say is quite awesome. Okay, let's not make this post an article for Samsung, but I can say that they grew a milestone, which not many have suspected.

So now let's compare one tiny Facebook with giants like Google and Apple and I am watching it only from the perspective of investor. 2 billion dollars a year, yea that's awesome, but how can we compare double digits revenue from giants? Let's not forget Microsoft. Seems like everyone fell for Facebook media hype and they can't be able to see that 2 billion this year is becoming a small number compared to Google ad's that are going to run on our TV's. It's absolutely the best time for IPO, because media fame is going down, and we need to talk about new topics like genuine ways to watch TV, while you take a long visit in the bathroom. And yea, you're right, Google will be servicing you the best possible ads for toilet paper, because they will know your Geo Location. No better time to give you a toilet paper commercial when you actually need one.

So now we can have a clear picture of how Google will know your watching habits and that data will be worth way more than anything else. Money is where eyeballs are and those eyeballs are still more into TV, whatever the new form of it may be...
