SubscribeTV Production beyond the Renaissance
Posted in IPTV, Television, News on April 26th, 2007. By Eduard F. Vinyamata.
A few weeks ago we highlighted an article by Steve Rubel that explored the idea that TV might become the next great development platform, and how if he is right, this may bring a time of innovation, creativity and, in a word, renaissance to TV. Today we highlight an article by Mark Cuban(Via Digg) that in different words defends this same theory:
Remember when you would buy a new PC every couple years to keep up and you would buy a new TV every decade? Well thats about to reverse itself. You no longer feel the need to get the latest and greatest PC but you are about to get in the habit of upgrading your TV every couple years as new and original features and applications are developed for it.
Nowadays we can upgrade out TV sets by buying an Apple TV, a Nintendo Wii or an SlingBox. Tomorrow the options these add ons provide might come with the TV screen itself. That would of course influence what a TV production company is as TV content making would have to at least take into account concepts such as widgets (like the ones already found in Joost) or true interactivity and customization options, such as Dave Winner’s vision of future TV News.
