Just look at the huge change in how we communicate through social media in the last decade. This change was driven by the young growing up into adulthood. I am sure that their ways of viewing will eventually feed through to what the mainstream do, and that a point will come when commercial TV will be seen as old hat and an inefficient way of viewing.

However, we'll see.
Lol, the very people who are already watching streaming/on demand (the people who you want to be the trend setters for your future) are already admitting to watching more live, linear TV.

I really have no idea how you think this will be different in 10 years time.
