CES: 53% of Americans think mobile devices will replace TV

53% of Americans believe that mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets will replace TV sets by 2022, according to new research from Irdeto.

Released this week at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the survey revealed that while over half of Americans believe this transition will happen in the next eight years, 31% believe that the change will actually occur within the next one to five years.

65% said that they prefer to watch content live at the time of broadcast - whether that's on a mobile device or on TV - while 60% of 18-24 year olds said that they prefer watching a full series at once, without waiting a week or more between new episodeshttp://connectedconsumer.mediatel.co.uk/insight/article/ces-53-of-americans-think-mobile-devices-will-replace-tv/
