Digital video for the time impaired

As we strive to advance in our jobs, our disposable time decreases. We´re becoming time impaired in spite of our hunger for content. We don´t have time to get the information we want. We have even less time to access the entertainment we want-at least in the old-fashioned way. Now that digital TV channels, digital video disks (DVD), and digital video home systems (DVHS) can feed our hunger for content, we need a drastic twist in the way we think of TV. We´re used to the idea of displayable video and viewable TV. However, in the future we´ll have to create searchable TV-similar to the concept of searchable databases. Searching on the fly, or content filtering, should enable applications such as parental control systems, commercial detection software, and selective news services while providing personalized TV experiences
