Clicking away from TV

Videodromese_shot3lAndrew Sullivan's March 16 Sunday Times of London column "Do not adjust your set: TV is about to blow apart" and Michael Hirschorn's article "The Revolution Will Be Televised" in the March issue of the Atlantic ponder the merging of your TV set with the Internet, with all that implies. (h/t The Daily Dish)

My two cents: 1) If U.S. telcos can ever figure out how to make IPTV anything more than a faster, cooler cable TV system, the merger of TV and the World Wide Web could look a lot more like "television" than it does now. But so far, they haven't.
