Cable companies expanded their fiber optic and advanced cable network. This expansion allowed them to combine internet services with television packages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next, <\/span><b><i>video compression<\/i><\/b> <b><i>technology <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">advanced to a level where digital signals could be carried over the internet. That combination of <\/span><b><i>infrastructure<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and technological advancement proved to be the beginning of a revolutionary change in television.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With those innovations in place, in 2005, three employees of the online payment company PayPal started a video sharing site called YouTube. At the time, a central site to share and discover online videos didn\u2019t exist. Videos were scattered all over the web, and it was sometimes difficult to find something you were looking for. Less than a year after launch, the company was purchased by Google, and by 2009, had over 1 billion viewers per day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2007, Netflix, then a DVD rental and sales company, switched its business focus and launched its movie streaming service. In 2008, Hulu, another movie and tv streaming site owned by NBC and Fox, launched. By 2010, most networks were offering streaming of their programming through one of these companies or through their own website or <\/span><b><i>application<\/i><\/b><b>.<\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2010 also marked the launch of the <\/span><b><i>Smart TV<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. These TV sets with integrated internet features proved the transition to internet based TV services was the future of television. By 2015, all TVs manufactured for the mid to high-end television set market were Smart TVs (a trend that is still true today).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As of 2020, there are more than 200 TV streaming services that offer a wide range of programming in <\/span><b><i>High-Definition<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Some are pay based, some let you view programming with advertisements, and others offer a combination of those two options. Also, internet-only programming has now been nominated for and won <\/span><b><i>Emmy <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and Academy Awards giving internet-based networks <\/span><b><i>clout<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the entertainment world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, what does this mean for cable tv and older packaged subscription services?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though their expansion and tech advances led to this TV revolution, it seems that more and more people are cancelling their cable services, or cutting the cord. The rising cost of cable is seen as the main reason people switch to internet-only services. This way, viewers only pay for one or two TV streaming services along with their internet bill at a much cheaper rate than cable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With this trend, it looks as though the future of television will be on the internet!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Word Focus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b><i>By \/ In leaps and bounds<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">idiom<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) &#8211; Rapid improvement or increase.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The company just started last year but we\u2019re growing in leaps and bounds every month.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><i>Video Compression Technology<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">noun<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) &#8211; A method of reducing the amount of data a video uses when encoded.

However, as the cable companies have learned, things evolve. Let\u2019s revisit the rules on ending a sentence with a preposition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>When to avoid<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When writing formally<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always avoid ending a sentence with a preposition when writing something formal. It sounds odd to the reader and is sometimes viewed as inappropriate. Again, it may be grammatically correct, but it has no place in formal writing. Just don\u2019t do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the preposition requires an object<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You wouldn\u2019t say:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The girl ran and hid behind.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The girl ran and hid behind what? That sentence requires an object to make sense and cannot end with a preposition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>When it\u2019s OK<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With informal writing and conversation<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We mainly speak and write informally in society, and unless you want to sound like you\u2019re 200 years old, phrases and sentences will certainly end in a preposition sometimes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, no one says: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From where did you come? <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They say: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Where did you come from?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The preposition is part of a <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/english-speaking\/phrasal-verbs-the-ultimate-list\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">phrasal verb<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are thousands of phrasal verbs in English with many different meanings. In order for the phrase to make sense, both the verb and preposition must remain together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Give up &#8211; phrase meaning to quit.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She will never give up.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ending sentences with prepositions isn\u2019t incorrect, and you will certainly find yourself doing this practice in your common speech and writing.
