As web sites become pieces of software compatible across technological devices and browsers, any device capable of accessing the Internet will be a computer of sorts, and videos/television/movies will becoming increasingly more accessible. Dot TV On Demand® assists individuals in finding what they want, when they want, where they want listing all developed dot tv channels (and is in the process of adding hundreds more.) Powet.tv and 4Kids.tv are two examples of dot tv's for children. It is just a brief matter of time before Dora the Explorer and just about every cartoon are on a dot tv channel.
