Cable-Cutting Experiment [Video]

We invited several families to give up their cable and instead use a “connected TV” device for one week following last Christmas. We interviewed them before and after, and left them Flip cameras to record their experiences.

The video is below, and here's the post with background info and a recap of our findings.

  2. This video is a very interesting look at how new technology’s attempts to simplify our lives are doing what seems like the complete opposite. These devices combine various technologies into one "convenient" medium but the users are resisting the convergence. When we watch T.V. we don't want to surf the web or online shop. We simply want to watch the shows that are familiar to us during their air times or maybe just whatever happens to be on. This is a fascinating experiment that truly raises the question of whether new technology is simplifying or complicating our lives.
