Anthony Wood Biography

This is all to say that if you had to bet on Roku’s survival its leader is the reason to go “yes.” Recently Wood told the “TV of Tomorrow Show” that his brain-child the DVR is dying. The same could eventually happen to set-top boxes like Roku if Smart TV takes over. Here’s why that is okay with him.
Wood had a fairly simple concept from its inception: Offer an affordable unobtrusive device that streams as much content as possible. Though some punted cable/satellite thanks to Roku the box was meant to augment regular TV watching. The average Roku owner now streams 12 hours of television per week compared to 35 hours of overall average TV watching.
“It’s gone well” Wood says in a telephone interview. “We’ve sold more than 3 million devices and its rapidly growing.”
The critical point that keeps Wood relaxed while tech behemoths stomp into his space: They’re stomping primarily with the device in mind. As my colleague Michael Kanellos points out “The sad truth of the matter is that hardware is ultimately a vehicle. It exists … to ferry information from server A to consumer B.”
