Even though the organizers of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland politely asked the likes of Sharon Stone and Angelina Jolie to stay home this year, the summit of big hitters is making news.
This Reuters report on Bill Gates’ statement that the full marriage of television and internet is less than five years away … (I’ll bet three, if anyone wants to start a pool) … is worth noting.
If what Gates believes actually comes to pass, and a fully-functioning internet, assisted by Hi-Def production values, (and fiber optic, for those of us lucky enough to have access to it), blows past commercial-(heavy) television, we will obviously be falling into a whole new rabbit hole. Note what he says about elections. Former Virginia Senator George Allen’s “macaca” moment will be remembered as the only the first incident of guerrilla election coverage.
It can’t come soon enough. Imagine, also, local TV newscasts with actual news.
