I think there will be more audiovisual content consumed on Smartphones and tablets in the future. Especially since there are trends that content will become more interactive and this is easier via mobile devices. I don't think tablets and smartphones will replace the TV but will becomes a strong alternative - especially for people who travel or commute a lot.

Well, there's certainly a trend but I doubt that smartphones and tablets will replace TV completely. The "TV industry" is aware of the changes and thus, adapts to them (smart TVs, etc). Also, those devices do not provide a bigger screen, which is inevitable for a nice movie night with besties.

I don't really think that smartphones and tablets will replace the TV but it's definitely a supplementary device to the TV, great for travelling or quickly checking out short clips. And just like Gypsywaldo said: the big TV screen is necessary for a successful movie night with besties ;).

I don't think Smartphones will ever replace TV, tablets-maybe, The quality of Smartphones in respect of audio quality and screen size! Maybe partially, in certain situations where a TV is not possible- Travel for example, great for in the plane.

In my opinion, No. Most people appreciate a big screen TV to view media, so, smartphones and tablets will not replace TV sets.

I think so, yes. Speaking from personal experience, I haven't had a TV for 5 years yet I am up-to-date with every show I like and watch Netflix like it's a religion (in the small amount of spare time I have). I can honestly say that TV, unlike shopping versus online shopping, doesn't adds any kind of value that online content doesn't. Even the social factor can be answered for w/ laptops... If you want to watch a movie together, laptops can also work just fine.

However, what I do not agree with is that on-the-go will replace static watching. I have never streamed video on my phone nor do I plan to. Your statement covers two different grounds that aren't necessarily related (on-the-go versus TV watching). I don't watch TV, but don't use on-the-go either. So I'm not sure where my argument falls. Good luck!
