The old media failed us! There is no reason to hide it! Humanity is becoming more and more advanced and gets more and more technology and what is more important more mobile technology. Things like smartphones, tablets, Skype, Internet TV, other devices and software contribute to the evolution of information and change the nature of the information itself. Today there is no way but interactivity and only interactivity is the way of the future.

During its history humanity was always looking for more information. People were curious about some current, past or coming events and wanted to know everything. Eventually the technologies were adapted to give them more and more info and to make this information as fresh as possible. But the centuries of informational stasis came to end when Internet grew into its 2.0 phase and more and more people started creating information instead of getting it from other people. This lead to two important consequences:
In less than five years most of the earth's population got used to the fact that they are capable of choosing what to read, see or hear.
For the first time in ...
... history a usual human got access to more information than he or she was able to process.

The second consequence created an informational filter problem which has two solutions. First is to have someone pre-select the information for the viewer, the other to have the viewer select it himself by means of some interactive solution. Naturally adding someone to select information in an era of informational freedom is not an option. So the only way is interactivity or practically the interactive TV.

Apart from its main benefit, namely creating the custom informational broadcast, interactive TV also has a number of side benefits. For example any viewed data or broadcast can be saved and re-watched any time. There is no problem in getting a new episode of your favorite show even if you were watching something else while it was broadcasted. The system will save it for you and you will be able to check it out later. Another small bonus are the language and subtitles. You can watch any broadcast with the language or subtitles of your choice. This allows creating a worldwide television network for the first time in human history. Each country will receive the same broadcasts only with default language. One more great thing about interactivity is the additional information possibilities. A viewer can get additional info on the broadcasting at any moment. He can stop a movie and browse over to the web to check out some ties of the plot to historical events or receive information about the character right on screen. No more guessing, a hero appears and you know who it is, even if you are not familiar with the historical person. And final argument - it is the future! I mean anyone who cares about style and public image would hardly refuse to use one of the most advanced and promising technologies in the world.
