This.

Get ready to start doing DIY video snippets.  I want to install a patio?
I'll just stream it directly to my handheld so that I can watch as I go.
Cooking a seafood paella?  I'll stream a step-by-step online recipe,
and oh, that's a neat trick for deveining shrimp, so I'd better rewind.

Of course, the TV shows will start breaking their own broadcasts up into
recipe/garden/DIY snippets that you can purchase and download to your
video library.  Unless, of course, those Net neutrality opponents get
in the way.

Portals that aggregate this information will probably be the next big
thing, bringing together step-by-step how-to articles with photos to
pair with videos.  Google is already going there.

I have some other ideas, but I'm keeping them to myself.  ;)  And it's 
time to go home.
