     Vint Cerf, who helped to build the Internet while working as a researcher in America, said that television
was approaching its "iPod moment"
     In the same way that people now download their favourite music onto their iPod, he said that viewers
would soon be downloading most of favourite programmes onto their computers."85 percent of all video we
watch is pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download it all the time," said Mr. Cerf, who is now the
vice-president of the Google, the world's largest search engine.
     "You are still going to need live television for certain things-like news, sporting events and emergencies-but
increasingly it is going to be almost like the iPod, where you download content to look at later." But some
critics, including some internet service providers, have warned that the Internet will collapse under the strain of millions of people downloading programmes at the same time.
     Broadband companies claim that the service will cause "traffic jams", which will cost millions of pounds to
sort out.
     But Mr. Cerf dismissed the warnings as "scare tactics", saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that
the net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it.
     "In the intervening 30ears it's increased a million times… We're far from exhausting the capacity," he said.
"It's an understandable worry when they see huge amounts of information being moved around online."
     "I want more Internet," he said. "I want every one of the six billion people on the planet to be able to connect to the Internet."

One of the founding fathers of the internet has predicted the end of traditional television. Vint Serf, who helped to build the internet while working as a researcher in America, said that television was approaching its “iPod moment.”

In the same way that people now download their favorite music onto their iPods, he said that viewers would soon be downloading most of their favorite programmers onto their computers. “85 percent of all video we watch is pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download it at any time,”said Mr. Cerf, who is now the vice-president of Goggle.

“You’re still going to need live television for certain things--like news, sporting events and emergencies--but increasingly it will be almost like iPod, where you download content to look at later.”

Although television-on-demand has not yet become a main activity in the UK, the BBC, 1TV and Channel 4 have all invested a lot of money in technology which Mr. Cerf think will enable viewers to watch their favorite shows on their computers.

However, some critics(批评家)have warned that the Internet will collapse(崩溃)if millions of people try to download programmers at the same time.

Over the next four years, scientists think the number of videos watched over the Internet will double, with people moving from short chips to hour-long programmes.

Broadband companies claim that the service will cause“traffic jams”,which will cost millions of pounds to solve. Mr. Cerf dismissed these warnings, saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that the net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it at the same time, “We’re far from exhausting (用尽)the capacity,” he said.“I want every one of the six billion people in the planet to be able to connect to the Internet.”
