If you have not yet realized it, traditional television as you know it and have seen it grow next to you, is in an irreversible coma.
It does not inspire, it does not report, it does not move... if not on those rare occasions when television remembers its true original mandate, the one in which no other medium can compete with it: live reporting!
On traditional television everything is pre-packaged, pre-ordered, planned and designed for, edited, revised, cropped, trimmed... censored, reviewed and approved. Old television is not a communication medium anymore: it is just an instrument of political and corporate propaganda.
If you had not realized this yet, wake up!
To live at the pace of change we are experiencing today, you need to take full control of the information channels through which you learn, find out, inform and entertain yourself, you are out of the game.
From today you have become your own control room, the control panel, the living remote control who choses and selects the clips that will help you learn, discover, and understand other things and people that share your same passions.
I have caught you.
If you sit another time again to look at another sit-com or at another Lost episode you can stop reading right here. Close this web page and forget it.
The world around you, ideas, the company you work for and the people that work for it cannot be changed while they also let themselves be hypnotized by this entertainment stream with zero ethics and nano-sized information values.
Only in rare instances of major live sport events, traditional television is still capable of making you taste the adrenaline of "being there", excited and alive, as if truly tele-ported to that however distant happening. Magic moments in which you forget where you are and you become one with whatever is happening at thousand of kilometers away.
But beyond that, is the deepest boredom.
The new grassroots online television channels that are sprouting online are very different from what you have become accustomed to see on traditional television.
But how can you tell whether what you are seeing on the web is just a web-version of a traditional television channel or it is an emerging pure-breed Net TV. As you will find out by reading further, discoverign which is which, will not be very difficult.
The new television is made up of many new ways of doing television, each of them evolving into what will be new styles and formats: YouTube, Blip.tv, Brightcove (review), DoveTail, Joost (review), Miro ( review). Some call it "Online Television", some "Internet TV", and some have been spending lots of PR money to get you to call it IPTV.
Without you even realizing it, Net TV is already here.
It is a new way to do television from the roots, without a $ 500,000 equipment setup, and with the flexibility and freshness of a blog.
Inside and outside of your organization, on the intranet or on the national professional association site, Net TVs will grow like mushrooms. Net TVs will open up many opportunities for all those with talent, a voice and a great desire to share their pioneering efforts in one of the most revolutionary media formats to appear.
But don't be fooled by these acronyms. The new online, Internet-based television, the Net TV, has a completely different taste, and it is easy to recognize independently of the language it speaks or the name it uses.
This is its unmistakable identikit:
