The early content of television was radio. The early content of the internet was publications. I think what’s changing is that the phenomenon is not movement in a singular direction of “progress”. Perhaps we’re at the point where all media are fare game as content for all other media.

“Television is a technology, a lazy term – come up with a better one.” Ned from NYTVF

Anyway, fascinating concept.
