the battle of internet viewing of moving images vs talking lamp and film
hmmm seems to be no meeting of the eyes to eyes here – from sitting on a cloud watching this you both might be right and wrong at the same time until there is a convergence of quality and content the talking lamp tv has the quality issue won at least that is the argument my gizmologist friend who has put most of the network satellite dishes in nyc up… his point is people are lazy and quality and easy tv will win – but i don’t necessarily agree with my gizmologist but i don’t tell him that because he’s a gizmologist –

but the question we need to ask is who are we – 20 century man was spoon fed media by the gatekeepers does 21 century online man trust the gate keepers – according to todays economic social political meltdown pundits (me) – we don’t trust nobody – their is a failure of trust – which is maybe why social media is rising to the top – even though i just spoke to jeff pulver from london and asked him… do we know what social media is yet…. he hesitated and said … no… oh well – so from my perspective from todays talking heads and talking lamp todays 21 century man is more curious more engaged more interested in what he wants, when he wants it and how he wants it… i personally think the future is nonLinear Films and more in-citeful and in-sighting films – and the rush to build 3-D theater screens to save the movie industry is going to have a rude awakening when they realize 3-D is a lean back experience and not a lean forward experience of action movement films – but all that is another story –
so the real or fake mcuban makes some relevant points and everybody has their point of view – my point is slick is gloss is not the same as quality to many of us and more often is seen by the online man as too contrived and also often too predictable – so the viewer addicted to talking lamps might say why see something on some mickey mouse laptop or computer screen when you can have the real thing – but i personally don’t think that percolates to the top for the 21 century man of the internet nation – we are much more interested and interesting as far as i can tell and also more forgiving then talking lamp watchers and we kinda like looking for the mistakes – since many of us both todays content producers and observers have grown up on films and talking lamps we are not our parents yet 
so i figure its a draw you are both right and wrong and when i want your opinion i will give it to you too
anyway so maybe you can shed some light on a question i have about if you think this might resonate or be relevant – i saw a demo last week of this and still wondering and thought you might have some thoughts on it too
but it also relates to some of mcuban statements so if you had

is this something or not of interest – i have no vested interest in it other then i wanted some people in education, sustainable & social development to be aware of it and since you guys were in this dance i thought i would come in and agree and disagree with both of you too
food for thought
