Academic Advice-Industrial Design & ???

Jon Yu — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:42:17 -0400

I was wondering if I could ask for some communal advice regarding my current school status. I am an older student currently pursuing an undergraduate industrial design degree and should finish in about 3 years but since I never finished with my initial degree(in English) I have an enormous amount of class credits that can be applied to a second degree.

One has to consider whether or not those 70 million registered users are willing to sit in front of their computer while watching a movie. Apple is trying to infiltrate the living room with the Apple TV and Netflix has the streaming $99 Roku box which allows subscribers to view "watch instantly" content on-demand. Just yesterday, Microsoft announced a partnership with Netflix to allow the exact same functionality with the Xbox 360. Unless Amazon can find a way to bridge the gap between the computer and the living room, I have a hard time believing that they will edge out Netflix or Itunes.
