commentary: shelly palmer end of broadcast tv

hmmm shelly - i think we have to ask ourselves also who is wearing the emperor’s new clothes? - i think the traditional media - tv broadcasting world and governements and biz included have been believing in their own propaganda for so long they can’t believe it ain’t reality and now with the internet and broadband they don’t know what to do - today i read the outrageous amounts the media is getting from the election process its not a bottom line affair - we are re-inventing ourselves and we the people are taking back the future and what i think Thoreau said “we need to learn what we need to teach” and what i believe we need to learn from the so called social sculpture - social media movement is that the we vs them is fractured and that we are them and them are we and social media resonates with “we” as in we the people - the traditional goal keepers, gatekeepers goal is control while the “we” goal is engagement being involved, we the people get this intuitively - and so it’s not only the end of broadcast tv its traditional top down management by fear that is threatened

Winston Churchill once said, “The farther you look back, the further you can see into the future.”

“ We are to guard against ourselves; not against ourselves as we are, but as we may be; for who can imagine what we may become under circumstances not now imaginable - Thomas Jefferson to Jedidiah Morse 1822 ”
