The Broadband Revolution

So, I was asked to see how long I could go without watching anything on TV and only using the internet as a source of viewing videos. Luckily for me, I rarely watch TV due to a lack of free time, so I was able to go a full week without watching TV. For me, when I have the time to sit down and watch a movie or a TV show, I always find what I looking to watch on the internet. I've come fond of the TV show Weeds, but I always miss it when it airs, but Showcase posts all episodes of weeds the day after they air, so I'm still able to keep up-to-date on the show.
When it comes to discovering an effective way to advertise on YouTube, that's not an easy task. People hate when they don't have total control over being able to fast forward and rewind whatever they're watching on the net, making it difficult to get a message across to the viewers. If there was a way to only lock the viewers abilities to have control over the video at the very beginning of the video, and then giving control back when the advertisement has finished playing then the viewers don't feel like they've lost all control, but advertisers could at least be able to get their message across to the viewers.
Regardless of how they decide to go about effectively advertising on YouTube, it should be done because it could prove to be very beneficial.
