Quote of the Day.

From an interview Mark Glaser did for mediashift with William Jeakle, who worked at CNN in the ’80s and helped develop the Airport Network, those ubiquitous TV monitors now available in 42 airports. I personally can't stand the TVs in airports or elevators but I liked his idea about "waves."MediaShift . Insider's Take::Why Public TVs Won't Go Away | PBS: "The first wave was television. The second wave was cable, allowing choice. The third wave being time-shifting, like TiVo, having what you want when you want it. The fourth wave is having the programming completely unfettered, having it when you want it and where you want it. And once you take the elephant off the chain, it takes a while for the elephant to realize he’s not on a chain."
