The End of Television as We Know It

(reg. req.): Former Academy of Television Arts and Sciences chairman Bryce Zabel wrote this surprisingly strong essay on TV, and some great points too…

– “For me, it’s not a state of convergence that we are entering in this digital age but something a little more metaphysical. All of the information overload is ganging up on our senses and coming together into something else: The Blur.”

– “Will kids who can no longer appreciate the difference between a broadcast network and a cable network, or a pay network and a satellite feed, really appreciate the distinctions we currently draw between all of these delivery systems?”

– “The best model to replace what’s on the way out may be TiVo meets iTunes.”

– “It’s one giant, indistinct, amorphous hard drive of blur.”
