If we are going to talk about technology, we must discuss the ways technology is being utilized today. Dropping technological costs and the trends of Internet users are forcing technology to change and adapt. Where the software of your computer ends and where the World Wide Web begins is increasingly interwoven and more difficult to distinguish between. In addition to that, today computers are not the only technological devices used to "surf" the World Wide Web. Web sites are no longer static pages of information or flash, they are becoming pieces of software i.e. content management systems (CMS). One reason for this is a web site that is a piece of software can be a calculable machine capable of being updated, refined, and built upon. Web presences consisting of sites developed with a CMS backbone can be instantly updated and can be compatible across technological devices and Internet browsers. Speed is of pinnacle importance, people can access computers and the Internet almost everywhere, and with this expanded access comes expanded expectation.
The expectations of people create societal trends and how they regard sources of public/commercial information and how they access this information has changed. Generations introduced to the Internet at a young age, who have lived with access to the Internet their entire lives, and who use the Internet in functional and purposeful ways daily search and use the Internet differently than most other generations. Web sites becoming software, the behaviors of Internet users and the merging of the Internet and Television has given birth to a “new entity” and “new age.” This new entity brings the static information of .com and the dynamic flow of television on .tv channels together. An Internet .tv channel is a necessary foundation in the creation of a Global Web Presence. Global Web Presence is a structure and Internet solution developed by U4H utilizing a .com and .tv with other TLD's as peripherals.
The way technology is being utilized today has forced technology to change and adapt. Viewers are moving away from their Televisions to their computer screens. Nielsen//Net Ratings (March 2007) calculated the number of Internet users in the United States as 208,907,282. Between 2000 and 2007 Internet users increased in the US by 25.1% or 84,907,282 users. The merging of the World Wide Web and Television has created a "new entity" and a "new age." This new entity brings the static information of .com and the dynamic flow of television on .tv channels together. This new age allows users to have more tangible and engaging experiences.
The merging of the Internet and Television has given birth to Internet Television Channels (ccTLD .tv). An Internet .tv channel is a necessary foundation in the creation of a Global Web Presence. These .tv channels must deliver to users what they expect: video, and engaging interactive media. These .tv's need to be synchronized with the established functions of the .com's. A .com and .tv are structured differently and when used in tandem are natural complements.
What will the .tv add to the already established functions of the .com? The .tv is the missing half necessary to build your own world and Global Web Presence within the Internet. Only a .tv channel frees you from the constraints and costs of advertising on traditional Television. Utilizing a .tv channel will give you freedom of expression and unlimited marketing opportunities. Unity 4 Humanity, Inc. is pioneering, creating, and shaping the world of Internet Television Broadcasting and Dot TV Channels. U4H, Inc.'s Dot TV Guide lists developed and undeveloped .tv channels. Dot TV on Demand showcases developed .tv channels that allow users to watch what they want, when they want.
