“Nothing to Fear” – Google
Television should not be in fear of the power of the internet to replace it. This according to a Google executive over the weekend. Instead of worrying about whether or not Google is going to eat television’s lunch, the important thing is the ability to produce quality content and tell stories. To me it’s going to be a lot like radio. Video didn’t kill the radio star, but radio changed in relation to the advent of television. I haven’t heard a radio play in quite some time, but radio is still a reliable money maker for many conglomerates. Perhaps television won’t be the home of episodic dramas and comedies, but become more like radio, the home of news and other live happenings.
