Hope for an educational video landslide: "time makes you bolder and children get older"

Right now, the largest population of viewers of educational videos are those aged 18-29. As they should be, their interests right now might are focused mostly on humor and entertainment videos. As they get older and buy homes, have children etc., suddenly they will be searching the web like crazy for videos showing them how to fix a broken dishwasher and what chicken pox looks like. This is when educational videos will take precedence in their lives -- when there is no more time for fun and entertaiment.

As this population, which is comfortable with technology, grows older and replaces the current middle-aged population which uses video less, the use of educational video may begin to close the gap with entertainment video. In addition, as more people of all ages have access to and become comfortable with using the internet for video, they will begin to turn to it for things help in normal every day how-to advice and educational needs from car repair to cooking, homework, investing advice, income tax preparation - the possibilities are endless...
