video
As the Internet gets faster and computers get more and more capable of handling the massive number of bits needed for high resolution video, video on demand becomes more and more popular. Video can be compressed and downloaded in the background with tools like BitTorrent to be viewed later, or it can also be streamed in real time as in SilverLight, or Real Audio. As fiber optic connections become universal we will see an explosion in digital video services, including high resolution video telephones and on-demand entertainment.
