Discussion Questions- Screens: televisions dispersed ‘broadcast’

  1. What is ITV and IPTV and how did these developments contribute to overlaying television onto the internet?
  2. How has portability impacted television? Discuss both negative and positive impacts.
  3. Could one argue that with the emergence of digitalized media, the face of television as we know it is subject to change into an entity entirely different than what people are familiar with? In what possible ways could this potential change impact society?
  4.  In regards to transmedia storytelling, must an original narrative already have enough fandom support to be effective in different mediums? (Are there any examples of narratives that had better success in a medium it was not intended for?)
  5. With the rise of original content from streaming services, how does that raise the stakes for network television?
