More and more viewers are cancelling cable television, preferring to watch new online-only channels like Netflix or Disney +.  An entire generation has given up on the TV set for good, and instead, these younger viewers watch programs on their laptop or their phone.  There is more: thousands of young adults, children included, have instituted their very own TV networks on YouTube, bypassing NBC, ABC and CBS altogether.  Watch as veteran communications professor Brian Rose takes a look at these startling developments and explain why the old days of simply "watching TV" are fast disappearing.
