every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word, benito rico is in germany to learn german. why not learn with him? simple online, on your mobile and free w e learning course, nichols, fake german meetings. he is holmes, past people with gathered around aspire to tell each other story in recent decades, that home entertainment has been replaced by a tv set. but now we're on the brink of a whole new media universe. the welcome to tomorrow. today you'll find show d w. the traditional or

linear television has a fixed schedule of films, series and documentaries. but in the new media world, you can watch what you like when you like at any time of the day. worldwide, the number of subscribers to video on demand services is steadily increasing from 170000000 in 2015 to projected 1000000000 plant by 2025 and the number of paid subscription to the big streaming services is also rising. another sign that sells the end of traditional tv. ah, we wanted to know how you watch movies, tv series and shows like tomorrow today. maybe online or in traditional star in front of the tv, or maybe in some different way. i really need a pretty rise. i prefer to watch tomorrow today on tv, because then other members of my family can be watching shows together is quality

time with the whole family. i get even the love posted. i live in ne mexico and like to watch both free to view and pay tv, just my streaming subscription. the, sorry, how you doing ts, right? i mean, much magazines like tomorrow to day on tv, but the films on tv are usually outdated. have lots of commercials and are often repeat now that the internet is available, i prefer to down the rooms and watch them later when i have time. and no phone call, the god doesn't watch free or pay tv at all. he only watches online streaming. what did media research it had to say? once upon a time, there wasn't much to watch on tv. you really had to put your mind to it. if you wanted to indulge in mindless channel surfing today,

things couldn't be more different. the age of video on demand and binge watching and what is it doing to us? media researcher marco's kleiner is extremely critical of the trend toward digital binge watching. he's written a book about it called stream land alter the the on demand video. i believe that netflix, amazon prime, disney, apple tv and the like threaten our democracy when mooney caught this permanent shopping us about maturity and self determination. yet we went in the smart trap in filter bubbles to keep us from doing thing anything alien to us. but it's all about me, my taste, what i like supposedly mind, not long ago, what we chose to have blaring from the one screen in the middle of our living rooms

was a matter for negotiation among family members. these days, linear tv is getting less and less viewing time. the 85 percent of young people in germany have access to a streaming service, endless series countless seasons. and after the cliff hanger, straight to the next episode. not a 2nd to wonder what may happen next. live in that may need as a call when we watch and we are watch by anonymous how's the rhythms? on the basis of our viewing behavior, we are categorized as a particular type of netflix persona. recommendations are then made to us. on the home page, we're only showing what's currently popular or the stuff that they want to become popular. it's all about sexual danger and it's about the end of a world about crying. i mean, familiar topics that go down well with the majority of netflix viewers. and so netflix is tast populism is creating

a new digital popular culture. roy doing digital was going to have been netflix has taken the monitoring a viewing habits to a new level. it's their recipe for success, but will it really replace our former viewing habits? gant hollenbeck media researcher from my book says the trend isn't as worrying as some might think. of her sounds in there's a title of television where it doesn't matter at all and you wanted to cite one cc'd on task and other streaming services have built their business model around 1st contract. on the other hand, i think there was always and still is a certain type of television that simply calls out to you. i want to see now not next week, not at any other time. those include formats like live sports, broadcast classes and form, and the life watch football game from last week. nobody does that last kind.

this saturday night movie is also likely to stick around for a while. there's just something cosy and old school about it. and t v series that aim to solve real life crimes will only draw viewers when there's still a chance of catching the suspects. in germany watching the tv detective series ta taught on a sunday night is still a ritual. the show still attract millions of yours. i guess hop odd and my interest in the board is still a kind of know, you know, let's just perience through clever cross media coupling. in this case, twitter or twitter makes it possible to make this we show, which could actually be watch it anytime you want demand television event from the through twitter, it's an event tied to a viewing time. in the past, prime time viewing was planned ahead. netflix users no longer have to think about

when a show was on, but this automated personalization of programming could have negative side effects . fiddle had to meet with friend types of educational, digital variances, and familiar with material i wouldn't usually see. and even with the topics i wouldn't deal with that, i'm an education begins when i step away from myself and open myself up to something like doesn't just reinforce my worldview that netflix does just with every 2nd community wants to affirm my sense of self, my taste, world view preferences, locks me into my very own viewing, present me skipping this the things i'm pleasure driven consumers who wither away and their feel become less able to comprehend the world's complexity. the one frowned upon. indiscriminate, tv junkies suddenly appear almost like last heroes. out on an audio visual stroll,

they let themselves be captivated and make discoveries outside their usual areas of interest. having conclusion, this type of home entertainment is far from over. this and other sounds and did as we all know that television is the classic sit back and zone out medium. the medium where sometimes you don't even want to think about what i like to watch tonight. netflix has begun to take this on board and the streaming provider has begun offering linear programming and friendly on a trial basis. for those who find it tedious to flip through the whole netflix catalogs in our network because our local to copeland so announcing the death of television, maybe premature streaming is likely to replace linear tv or even cinema. it's just

a different way of consuming media. a new facet of an existing landscape, awe from the media jungles to the labyrinth of lies beneath the tree top. busy for a forest found mainly in northern europe, siberia and north america. se make up around one 3rd of the rolls woodlands. then there are rain, sorry. these are the forest 10 tropical and sub tropical areas on either side of the equator, which both the world's greatest diversity of plant and animal species. deciduous or broadly mixed forest are found primarily in europe, eastern asia and north america. and it's in one such forest, but scientists have been eavesdropping on the secrets of the wood wide web.

the since ancient times the forest has been a place of magic, and miss, i often feared by many of our ancestors, ah, today we no longer see our shrinking woodlands as enchanted. but still, we only understand a fraction of what goes on there. one thing is sure that home to a vast array of helpers that are working hard to ensure the tree survived in the sin, fingers, nature park in switzerland. mccain pater and her team are on the trail of fund guy which drive and force soil in play. a very special roles when on hearing and vision, if you remove a little layer forest floor, you can see these tiny white threads everywhere. i say they're fungal threads, hold hi fi. so the ones that are visible to the human eye or the white one,

the vice the thing, but there are much minor threads to piece together. they form an entire cluster in the forest, floors full of fun guy, hifi, fuller, full, full for peace. me there reach is truly incredible. filaments of a single fungus can spread over 100 square meters. one species alone can proliferate across the forest floor, and there are $1000.00 different species and total, ah, the fun guy network under one, hector, a forest soil weighs about 6 tons, with a total length of a mind blowing 100000000 kilometers 1000 meters, a fungal height, the can my below just one square centimeter of forest flor ah, with a fungal filaments meet the delicate tree roots. this is where the magic happens. the fungal filaments enveloped the roots. some even penetrate them. fungus

entree connect in the field from the clamps again, i'm homeless fungus and the plant trade with one another estimate. the fungus gets nutrients like nitrogen, and phosphate from the soil, which it gives to the plant t. and in return, the fungus gets sugars from the plant, which the plant can produce with photos, synthesis. this is called a mike arrival symbiosis, mutually benefit from one another and couldn't survive without each other on the phone guy and tree roots together form a vast network in the forest, which some have dubbed the wood wide web. there have long been indications that phone guy and trees can exchange nutrients food network in the tree. you can also show new trends among themselves. it's a romantic notion, a kind of harmonious woodland coexistence a tree in the shade, for example,

might benefit from the sugars of a fellow tree in a sunny spot for hungry young saplings. but doesn't really work like that. it's such a neighborliness essential for the forest survival that's what martina paid to and her team want to find out in an experiment that's unusual and rather ingenious, they're planting seedlings in the shade of the forest. around some of the seedlings they place a membrane in the soil that's permeable to fun guy around the others and impermeable membranes. ah, they then administer traceable carbon dioxide to a nearby adult tree. to do this, the researchers wrap the trees crown with the plastic tarp and pump that c o 2 inside the 3 uses photo synthesis to make sugar from it, which is also marked and can be tracked by the researchers.

ah, sure enough, the lab results show that sugars from the adult re travel to the seedlings and the fungus permeable membrane. but the roots of the seedlings didn't transport. the sugars further woman hardened us. these are too, cuz what we found is that the sugars stay in the roof live in the michael rice will fund guy and a tiny amount in the very fine roots of the sampling. in a few cases, we also found the shivers, a deeper and the root of the plant spare during the sale. okay. and we found none at all in the needles of so if there is a sugar transfer here, it's only in tiny amounts. most of the sugars stay in the fungus and pits. and what about the adult trees near the one that was pumped with c o 2? the researchers also found sugars with a specially marked carbon on those trees routes. but here again,

the trees didn't absorb it. so it seems that the transport of sugars from tree to tree via fungal networks does not play a significant ecological world. ah, nevertheless, a tree releases about a 1000 different substances into the soil. they could all play a role in the forest ecosystem and the co existence of micro organisms, some guy and plant, ah, the trees probably communicate with each other with some of those substances. but little is known about how and when they might do this. and what role the process might play in the forest ecosystem mickery. so, pills, me, we already know quite a lot about the interaction between micro rise or phone guy and plant, but we understand quite a lot about this exchanging but the interaction to take place from one tree to

another via phone guy. the research on this topic is only just begun stating on them on from the fortune. perhaps a forest can best be understood as a kind of super organism in which many factors are play. what really goes on in the wood wide web is still largely a mystery. a mystery that martina painter and her team hoped to unravel. but for now it's safe to say to the forest continues to keep many of the secrets to itself . ah ah, by the way, not fear fun guy for foods discovered in the democratic republic of congo was found to be 250000000 years older than the previous record holder. and scientists keep making sensational discoveries of other fossils teas. would he, mamma, and of course dinosaurs did all the animals from that primeval era. actually,

dr. berger's from columbia had a question about that. are animal species present today that survived the age of the dentist wars? some 66000000 years ago, a 14 kilometer wide asteroids slammed into the earth, triggering a mass extinction. within seconds, the space wrong vaporized across the earth fires raged, and volcanoes erupt. it within a few days, the earth was blanketed in darkness. the deadly ice age that followed lasted for years. acid rain transformed the ocean's vegetation died. 3 quarters of all species were wiped out. today's reptiles may resemble many dinosaurs, but in most cases they have little in common with their forebears. unlike

crocodiles of pre historic relative of the crocodile emerged 250000000 years ago, and crocodiles are ultimate survivors. they eat almost anything and can go for long periods without food. turtles are also one of the oldest living reptile group. the earliest known turtles swam the world's oceans 225000000 years ago and looked remarkably similar to those solitary ancient creatures that exist today. thing rays have roamed the oceans for even longer. these primordial creatures belong to the cartilage in a fish family. as to sharks, they were already among the top predators of the oceans in the age of the dinosaurs, the catastrophic consequences of the asteroid had little impact on shark biodiversity. horseshoe crabs haven't changed much in 150000000 years. that's because these living fossils can survive and water of

varying salt in this and warmth. birds evolved from a group of dinosaurs survived thanks to their feathers, chickens and ostriches, are the closest living relatives of to run a source, rex. sounds improbable. just compare how they walk if i was let is read why you had a science question, you'd like us to send it in as video text or voice. if we feature it on the show, you'll get a little surprise from us as a thank you. come on to the news, you can find more fascinating stories from the world of science on our website and on twitter. i but now's time to take the plunge. in the mid 900 century research,

i still believe that the deep was the rest of life. today. we know that the watery deaths of teeming was an amazing diversity of species. and so far we've done the last 5 percent of the deep sea. but it's not just the oceans that are home to fascinating. the classic creatures like constant phones, the border between germany, austria, and this underwater world is populated with some very interesting reference. the temperature is around freezing, but that isn't going to stop all bat thompson and tino detroit from taking a dip in the water. isn't it too cold? good. now you know it's grade. it's warmer in the water than out of it. what are you wearing to stop you freezing all the time? you know, rena. she owned rose shaw, says i'm wearing thermal underwear and a fleece. the understood over it in the afternoon and then i've got on events

jacket to keep my upper body and kidneys warm. play tight tom open car put on to the new dentist and then a dry suit to which is waterproof oss at the pockets. and so only our faces are going to get wet for over a year. the 2 divers have been monitoring aquatic life in the depths of lake constance. there are not scientists, but photographers fascinated by what goes on in this murky underwater world live. and i could be, we want to show that the lake isn't as dark and dormant as people think this minute teeming light. and you just have to take a closer look. it was 5 is our aim is to capture these images and bring them to the light of day yona focus. last name is the aim of today's expedition is to track down some tiny crustaceans known as micies trim, also known as a possum trimmed a little or

stay low in winter, the water is clear enough to see the aquatic life still active at this time of year the 2 divers have gone on over a 1000 expeditions to the depths of lake constance together in all seasons. today they come across a catfish, one of the legs, largest native predators. they also encounter an eel, also native to these waters. but they also come across a number of invasive species like this north american spiny cheese crayfish, which is devouring vocal aquatic life. and zebra mussels, which have only existed in lake constance since the 1900 sixty's. since then,

their population has exploded. finally, the divers find what they're looking for. mice is shrimp, native species now feed on these crustaceans, which arrived in lake constance some 20 years ago. the invasive species also fascinate biologists unit. so shred, seen on the left, has been researching the bio diversity of fresh water, rivers, and lakes in switzerland for 25 years. today, he and his colleagues are collecting samples from the royce river. this, here is another intruder. the scientist is identifying more and more invasive species here in switzerland and in more lakes and rivers. doesn't think this is a killer shrimp. it wasn't here 10 years ago. but now it's an almost every sample. it is also in like conduct on board and it's been there a bit longer and it's spread extensively as it's just like the quack. i'm also,

it was 1st discovered in lake constance 5 years ago since then it spread along the shores of the lake and also on its bed with significant consequences for the lakes ecosystem. to ask that, you know, at 1st we thought it wouldn't make much of an impact as just one speaking. the muscle would replace another but it wouldn't change the ecological balance. but it turned out that this species can live in far deeper water, has completely altered the lake bed. the board on campus is no native muscle lives in that exact minish. it's not replacing any things to sort of thing, but it's completely transforming the habitat. turning a sandy bed into a hard substrate, what does it become? might be endangered. as a result, we don't know yet apply. it does come up no nissan. but this development clearly poses a threat, a growing threat, because once new species settle, they generally start to spread feeder and even flights as many of the species

now in lakes and switzerland were 1st found in like constantly the killer shrimp and clog muscle land. they traveled here along the line and then spread across the country side of the what happened in like constance is a blueprint for what could happen and certainly in elsewhere of the info into the entire ecosystem of lake constance is changing that to photographers have also seen it with their own eyes auto body all had carl if lay a few years ago. the floor of the lake was bare to be box now covered with a dense layer of mussel. in paula a seas. visually, it's very attractive us. we found my shrimp and tiny creatures between the muscles lead me still a visa through shifted but what's going to happen next? vehicle today, aquatic life in lake constance includes many invasive species or by hands and has

published a book recording these encounters in waters close to home. and i think that's all for today. thanks for watching. we'll be back next week with another additional tomorrow today. until then by, by the me. the news . the
