The internet is for porn

This weeks theme on the Captainmicahp blog is CES. One of the hot ideas this year is IPTV, that is television over the internet instead of over the air or cable. This is a pretty good idea and I expect it will one day be the delivery method of choice for video into our homes. This could have wonderful implications for culture. At this point you are probably thinking "micah you have clearly lost your mind". Not true I am thinking clearly, in the US much of our pop culture comes from the big 4 TV networks and they are censored by the government in the form of FCC indecency fines. If the gateway for this content is no longer regulated by the goose-stepping thugs of the family values Gestapo which runs the FCC we could start seeing some real innovation in the kinds of TV shows that get produced. HBO and ShowTime are already at the vanguard of this. Once broadcast TV is totally removed from the equation and the marketplace of ideas takes over most productions will become similar to everything else that is delivered via the internet. So in the very near future TV too will just become on click away from porn. I welcome are new naked lady overlords of culture. The future is calling, will you answer?
