Digital TV, digital radio, ADSL, SDSL, VoIP, iTV, e-cinema, d-cinema… the list goes on. A list that will grow and deepen in complexity, requiring entertainment content developers to go back to their drawing boards or G5s. The old fashioned TV or film production model will become less relevant as people come up with new ways to make, distribute, watch and pay for their entertainment.
This will require content providers to make new alliances and new content that can be chopped up and delivered in any number of ways. This is what The Futurist, in its own idiosyncratic way is doing.
We are not vacuous TV tarts, nor are we ascetic cinefiles. We are bright
people with a yen for informative and entertaining stories, offered as
programmes, panel discussions, interviews, films, mini-documentaries, mpegs, streamed media; indeed any number of formats and any type of content.
