Movie, TV viewing shifting online: study

Couch potatoes may be a thing of the past as a study has found the number of people watching video on their computers has doubled over the past year. ABC News reports.

"The US study, by ABI Research, found growing numbers of younger viewers are enjoying movies and television shows online.

The number of US consumers watching video streamed through a browser has soared over the past year, from 32 per cent a year ago to 63 per cent today.

ABI Research says growth in consumption of online video is due to a number of factors, including an increase in the amount of rich content available and more broadband connections."
