Way back in '93, when the Internet was just getting nicely started, some people predicted the end of traditional television. They predicted the advent of interactive television, with all that implies. Now, we're on the verge of that happening. Eventually it is likely that interactive online television will replace traditional television. Exactly how the replacement/merge takes place is still a bit up in the air, whether it means that tv's become computers (likely) or computers become tv's (not likely) or neither (a new thing). In any event, the new sites, like youtube.com and google video allow people to upload and share their videos. With readily available video editing tools, they can create their own videos/movies/shows. It will change tv forever. And consider the commercial implications. The potential business models. Will it mean the death of the traditional networks? Or will they have to become interactive to survive? It's a world of new possibilities opening up for us. globeandmail.com : Nothing on TV?
