Exploding TV - now underway

There's a great conversation taking place in the blogosphere about TV - and it's future. It's fueled at least a bit by the sense that TV is simply bad, or ill-used. It could be so much a). Better b). More Valuable c). More useful d). More important.

Think of it this way. You have to lose all but one of the following devices:

a. Your Computer
b. Your Cell Phone
c. Your I Pod
d. Your Broadband Connection
e. Your Cable Connection

Is there ANY chance the one thing you'd keep is Cable? For entertainment? For Information? for anything. Check out "Exploding TV" Fred Wilson's take on TV's future -->LINK <--

And then what Jeff Jarvis has to say about the same lunch: -->LINK <--

It is pretty clear that IPTV changes everything - now we just need to imagin the future we want to build and not get too freaked out by the exploding number of choices.

I was at a panel at CES where someone suggested that consumers really didn't want choice... they in fact wished there were less channels and less choice. True enough, I want less junk, and more stuff that's meaningful to me.

That's why my blog reader beats my TV channel changer any day. More stuff I want, less stuff I don't. Not so complicated, really. And there's also the matter of authenticity. As Fred also speaks about on his blog, voices from the Tsunami that are human and real seem to be more engaging and effective than the so-called 'objective' voices of MSM news. But watch CNN and you'll see some of that changing a bit - in surprising ways.
