I don't really mean it like that, but I personally see the internet as the future of media across the board. No more physical media, and no more "broadcast" media either, at least in industrialized countries. I also think that the paradigm of the TV schedule is going to go out the window, and be replaced by an on demand system where episodes are released and can be rented or bought like podcasts.
I also think that, like CDs before it, physical video media will eventually be replaced entirely by digital videos. The quality just needs to improve, as well as the download speed.
Here's my ideal media solution:
All my media stored in a central location, say a computer in my office. This media can then be streamed to various devices throughout my home, or synched to things like phones or ipods. I know this already exists, but it's not as ubiquitous as I imagine it will become.
Also, I changed my mind a little, internet radio and tv news will still be live.
