I do wonder about the future of television. Just the introduction of options like Apple TV could be the death knell of providers. Why continue to pay for hundreds of channels I don't want?

The movement of television (and film and radio, too) from monolithic industry to one of many delivery systems for video marks the real shift in our society.

Next year marks the first real online presidential election. After all, the leading Democratic contender announced her candidacy on the Web, and her chief opponent's crew lobbed a significant shot at her via YouTube. Next year will be for the Internet what 1960 was for TV: a watershed. Great post.
