a whole new media universe. ah, welcome to tomorrow. today you will science show. the double use traditional or linear television has a fixed schedule of films, series and entries. but in the new media world, you can watch what you like when you like at anytime 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
9:32 am
front of the tv, or maybe in some different way. tyronica poetry rise. i prefer to watch tomorrow today on tv, because then other members of my family can watch along with be watching shows together is quality time with the whole family. my good ethan is posted. i live in ne mexico and like to watch both free to view and pay tv, just my streaming subscriptions. the. sorry. how unit? yes. right. i want magazines like tomorrow to day on tv, but the films on tv are usually outdated. have lots of commercials and are often repeat, not at the internet is available. i prefer to down the films and watch them later when i have time. phone calls to doesn't watch free all pay tv at all. he only watches online streaming. what did media research says? once upon a time,
9:33 am
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 band binge watching and what is it doing to us media research, macos kalina, 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 and filter bubbles effect to keep us from experiencing. and i think alien to us, but it's all about me. my taste,
9:34 am
what i like about 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. them is in that may need as a call when we watch, and we are watched by anonymous algorithms. 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 homepage. we're only shown with currently binocular or the stuff that they want to
9:35 am
become popular. it's all about sexual danger and fear on. it's about the end of a world about crime, familiar topics that go down well when the majority of netflix viewers. and so netflix is taste populism is creating a new digital popular college roy doing digital of what's going to affect netflix has taken the monitoring of viewing habits to a new level. it's their recipe for success. but will it really replace our former viewing habits? gant, helen banga, media researcher from my book says the trend isn't as worrying as i'm my think and are from sounds in there's a 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 test contract. but 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 be seen now,
9:36 am
not next week, not at any other time, but those include formats like live sports, broadcast classes and form. and we live watching a 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 tv 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 viewers. i guess have awed an up in my 1st order is still a kind of know, you know, experience 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 as one demand to
9:37 am
a television event 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 . it'll have to meet with friends of education has to do with variances, the unfamiliar with material i wouldn't usually see. and even with the topics i wouldn't deal with that, i'm an education again when i step away from myself and open myself up to something that doesn't just reinforce my worldview. netflix does just with every 2nd to minute dreaming. netflix wants to affirm my sense of self, my taste, world view, preferences, locks me into my very own viewing, present stiffness, the themes and pleasure driven consumers who wither away and their feel
9:38 am
become less able to comprehend the world's complexity. the one found 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. helen, daggers, conclusion. this type of home entertainment is far from over. this and other sounds in did as we all know that television is the classic sit back and zone out media, the media 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 friends on a trial basis. for those who find it tedious to flip through the whole netflix
9:39 am
catalogs in the network can log on to coping ah. 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 who's from the media jungles to the labyrinth of life. to me, the 3 top. busy from the 1st chorus found mainly in northern europe, siberia and north america. they make up around one 3rd of the walls woodland. then there are rain forests. these are the forest and tropical and sub tropical areas on either side of the equation which both the world's greatest diversity of plants and animals species.
9:40 am
broadly mixed forest are found primarily in europe, eastern asia, and north america. and it's in one such forest. but scientists have been east dropping 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 assure their home to a vast array of helpers that are working hard to ensure the trees survive in the fin, fingers, nature park and switzerland. mckenna, painter and her team are on the trail of fund guy, which dr. and force soil and play a very special world when he
9:41 am
was born. and if you remove a little layer forest floor, you can see these tiny white threads everywhere. i say there fungal threats that hold hi fi you. so the ones that are visible to the human eye or the white one, the vice, the sink. 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 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 different species and total ah, the phone guy network under one heck, tara forest. soil weighs about 6 tons, with a total length of a mind blowing 100000000 kilometers. 1000 meters,
9:42 am
a fungal hi fi can lie 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 me the appeal of the plans that can, i'm homeless fungus and the plant trade with one. another asked the fungus gets nutrients like nitrogen and phosphate from the soil, which it gives to the plant. and then return the fungus gets sugars from the plant, which the plant can produce with photo 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 had long been indications that fund
9:43 am
guy entreaties can exchange nutrients through this network. and the tree can also show new trends among themselves. it's a romantic notion, a kind of harmonious woodland coexistence a tree in the say, 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 painter and her team want to find out in an experiment that 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
9:44 am
a plastic harp and pump that c o 2 inside the tree 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 look at the woman hardened us. these are to come up. we found is that the sugars stay in the room live in the mica rise will fund guy and a tiny amount in the very fine roots of the sampling. in a few cases, we also found the sugar as a deeper in the root of the plant spare during the plant sale. okay. we got kind of, we found none at all in the needles of so if there is a sugar transfer here, it's only
9:45 am
a tiny amounts. most of the sugars stay in the fun pits. and what about the adult trees near the one that was pumped with c o. 2? the researchers also found sugars with the 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, fun guy and plants. ah, it's thought that 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?
9:46 am
mickery saw me, we already know quite a lot about the interaction between micro rise or phone guy and plant that off. we understand quite a lot about this exchanging but the interaction to take place from one tree to another via fund guy. the research on this topic has only just begun stating on them on from the for sure. 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 peter 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 excess. ah, by the way, nancy is fun. guy. fossils discovered in the democratic republic of congo was found
9:47 am
to be 250000000 years older than the previous record holder. and scientists keep making sensational discoveries of other fossils such as woody mammoth and of course dinosaurs. but it all the animals from that primeval era actually die out. docket bull goes from colombia, had a question about that. are animal species present today that survive the age of the domain? is 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
9:48 am
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, a prehistoric 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 look remarkably similar to those solitary, ancient creatures that exist today. sting rays have roamed the oceans for even longer. these primordial creatures belong to the cartilage of 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 have little impact on sharp
9:49 am
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 survives thanks to their feathers, chickens, and ostriches, are the closest living relatives of to run a sonorous record. sounds improbable. just compare how they walk if i was what is read, why do you have a question you'd like 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 the news,
9:50 am
you can find more fascinating stories from the oldest science on our website and on twitter in the in. but now trying to take the plunge in the mid 19th century research, i still believe that the deep sea was the rest of life today. we know that the watery deaths of teeming with an amazing diversity of species and says, we've only explored 5 percent of the deep sea. but it's not just the ocean set him to fascinating. the classic creatures like constant phones, a border between germany, austria, and switzerland. and this underwater world is populated with some very interesting reference. the temperature is around freezing, but that isn't going to stop whole bat thompson and tino detroit from taking a dip in the water. isn't it too cold of good old?
9:51 am
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, lena, she owned rose shaw. i'm wearing thermal underwear and a fleece. the understood over at a new c. s a. and then i've got on event to keep my upper body and kidneys warm like tight tom, open put on to the new era dentist and then a dry skin to which is waterproof os at the feet pocketing. 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 with light and you just have to take a closer look. the most is 5, is the lar aim is to capture these images and bring them to the light of day yona
9:52 am
opus less to meet. the aim of today's expedition is to track down some tiny crustaceans known as mice is for him. also known as a possum shrimp boil, which they level 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 lakes, largest native predators. they also encounter an eel, also need to these waters the bugs. they also come across a number of invasive species like this north american spiny cheese crayfish,
9:53 am
which is devouring local aquatic life. and zebra mussels, which have only existed in lake constance since the $900.00 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 constant 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 colleague 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 say well this is
9:54 am
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 the board and it's been there a bit longer and it spread extensively. it is just like the quag muscle. 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 links ecosystem . to asked after, you know, at 1st we thought it wouldn't make much of an impact. just one species of muscle would replace and others. but it wouldn't change the ecological balance. but it's turned out that this species can live in far deeper water, has completely altered the lake bed. the board on campus is keep no native muscle lives in that exact minish. it's not replacing anything with the sort of thing, but it's completely transforming the habitat. turning a sandy bed into a hard substrate when might be endangered. as a result,
9:55 am
we don't know yet apply the discount for the nissan. but this development clearly poses a threat to a growing threat. because once new species settled, they generally start to spread feeder and eventually as many of the species now in lakes and switzerland were 1st found in like constantly the killer shrimp and clog muscle. 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 in like service and elsewhere in off as the info into the entire ecosystem of late constance is changing that to photographers have also seen it with their own eyes auto body. all had mccall if lay a few years ago. the floor of the lake was bare to be box now was covered with a dense layer of mussel and hollins. as this visually,
9:56 am
it's very attractive us. we found my shrimp and tiny creatures between the muscles still a p visa through shifted and what's going to happen next? vehicle today aquatic life in lake constance includes many invasive species. well that hans 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 edition of tomorrow today. until then by by the news, the

to read them off, communicate, we accompany a research team to the pacific to decode the language of whales. sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning like the local ideas. we will show you how climate change and mental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now. for a i would really
