Rebooting Media

“It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark” (Howard Ruff)

Social - Local - Mobile OS

Substantial differences - but a nice couple:)

A tidal wave of game-changing TV/ Video technologies

(Em)brace: new Interfaces

This is not (just) about technology but about behavior changes

“The Old is Dying and the New Cannot be Born; In this Interregnum a Great Variety of Morbid

Symptoms Appear”  Antonio Gramsci

Disembodiment everywhere

New Generativesbeing invented:)

Tablets: Content. Social. Commerce.

Devices and broadband and social: new collaborations!

On the TV, our ‘job’ was to consume

On mobile devices and tablets our ‘job’ is to engage

Not negotiable

Scarcity is the past - like it or not.Curation, Context, Relevance is ...King :)

For tomorrow’s SoLoMo tablet users, traditional broadcasters may become just one of many Apps
