Forrester Research lays out a future landscape dominated by video in a new report How Video Will Take Over The World.

Analyst James L. McQuivey, Ph.D, envisages consumers being confronted with “a dozen video platforms per day.”

He asks us to imagine:

1. waking up to a video alarm clock;
2. checking satellite weather videos on your mobile phone;
3. watching traffic videos on your GPS unit while driving in to work;
4. watching an ad for a Ford Edge (F) on Gas TV while fueling up at a gas station;
5. streaming MSNBC stock reports from your desktop at work;
6. seeing a short address from your CEO in a meeting-room photo frame;
7. watching a promo for American Gladiators in the back of a video-enabled taxi on the way to the airport;
8. hearing Glenn Beck’s take on the elections while waiting at the airport gate;
9. watching a clip from your daughter’s middle-school debut in Guys and Dolls that your spouse emailed as you board the plane;
10. indulging in American Idol on the satellite TV on your JetBlue (JBLU) flight;
11. checking in at your hotel through a video kiosk; and finally
12. catching Iron Man in HD on the hotel room’s flat-screen TV.

In five years, it will be a rare day in which you don’t experience this many different video platforms.
