A Peak Into the Future of TV
Last Thursday I attended the Garage Geeks event entitled “A peak into the future of TV”. Amongst the speakers were the amazing Jeff Pulver, who spoke about how easy it is for each of us to create our own internet TV channel these days using the free, technological platforms which are already available to us, and Amit Or, co-founder of InLive, who embedded live graphs into his powerpoint presentation that were the result of us calling InLive’s IVR system in real time.
The event itself took place in a real garage and the atmosphere was just surreal. As Gil Rosen writes in his blog: “It’s a real junky (but funky) garage, in a real industrial zone, with very little space, plastic chairs, no real food, coffee or toilets but it GOD DAMN WORKED! Something about the surreal surroundings made it feel like we are are actually talking about a real revolution (which it is)”.
Gil is right. There is a real revolution emerging right before our eyes which will change the way we have viewed and defined TV till now. I believe that within a few years time, we will see the internet establish itself as the leader of all media and that more and more services and technologies will be offered to those watching and those who want to be watched. All I can say is: Watch out broadcast TV – times are a-changin’ and you’re going down.
Check out Jeff’s presentation below (The film needed to be split into two parts due to YouTube‘s limits):

Thanks for posting. I am assuming this is in TA? You guys should start a Video Meet up there. The origonal one (?) was set up in New York by the founder of Pando: Yaron Samid. In the future you can post the video at viddler.com and there is no limit to the lenth of the video. In addition you can tag the video for particular parts.
Hi fifthguy:
Yes this is in TA. And yes, I know viddler.com. I am not one of the organizers of these events but I will be sure to pass on the message. Thanks for the feedback.
Really interesting, I wonder how exactly this will fit in with bandwidth limitations and net neutrality or common carrier regulations. If you want to test out another similar service thats live currently try out http://www.freetube.us.tc I believe they have an open beta currently.
Thanks digg user,
I’ll check it out!
