the “historical significance” of this particular gathering as Google’s Thomas
Riedl ended the conference with a keynote speech launching the new Android TV
product.

Over the course of the week, panelists directed a klieg
light onto the viewing activities of Millennials.
Ismail Patel, TV analyst for Ovum, emphasized second-screen
usage amongst the younger generation.
“[Millennials] do not know a world without smartphones and
the Internet, and do not afford an arbitrary priority to the big screen in the
corner of the room over the tablet or smartphone device in their hands,” he said.
“[This behavior] will eventually become the mainstream.”
And as a result of this behavior, Espen Erikstad, COO of
Norigin Media, believes
that “there is a chance linear TV may not be around in five to 10 years’ time.”
The migration of viewers from traditional television to
Internet streaming was also of importance, with many businesses demonstrating
their technologies.
