10:00 pm End of Television A look at the future of television, prime-time television and the big networks. 13: WNET 13 (PBS) Does this sound familiar?: "The genesis of life after television is the microchip. The microprocessor technology is the most powerful force in the world economy today..." George Gilder, from The End of Television Earlier on in the program you had an old TV exiled to your barn and you stated that is was to be relegated to the dump the next day. You were on several times in the hour long program - that guy from Wired was good. I believe it was a Canadian effort done by Screenlife Productions. Here's WNET's own listing: 10-11pm THE END OF TELEVISION -- Will television as we know it soon cease to exist? This program predicts that the computer will replace the TV set, and that networks and prime-time programming will disappear. (Encore) wnet.org I guess "encore" means four years old. >>, both "news" and "entertainment," to my craw's surfeit, and even sample the breathtaking feculence of Spectravision, or proceed past a convenience store chock full of porn You must get better stations than I do. I usually get the feckless flatuence of the fetid miasma . That plays havoc with my asthma, not to mention what it does to my visceral vision. Where was that dump?!!!

What are your thoughts on the National Association of Broadcasters? There is a convention in Las Vegas right now and many technologies relating to handling video are being presented there. Does your aversion to television, also carry over to the technologies that are being produced to handle digital video networks for television production? Do you see any risk that this might make you view the technologies in the Broadcast arena, in the same light that "old world telephone executives" viewed the data networks, as not being relevant to their business? Just curious. Respectfully, JW
