The blackberry you own or that you gave your kids, maybe you don't own a blackberry, but you own an android is an example of on demand media. The DVD player every household more than likely has is another usage of on demand media. Most people go to www.youtube.com but that is a form of on demand media. My family and I are Netflix subscribers. This is also another usage of on demand media.
