the revolution will be televised
it took me almost five minutes to figure out which television based quote/allusion/reference i wanted to use the most as my title, that is to say, television is one of the most basic aspects of American culture that it is impossible to ignore. that's not to say television isn't on its way out, it definitely appears to be. everything that you can see on one's tube is now on your beautiful laptop/iPhone/tablet-type-object. if not while its being broadcasted, then whiten hours. all the information one would rely on cnn for is now on cnn.com, and, of course, Charlie Sheen was the most payed tv actor of all time. its no longer practical to get our information and entertainment in half hour or hour long scheduling windows. and even though the drug called charlie sheen is one of my personal favorites, its for the birds now. im not saying television is a bad thing, shows like adventure time, Wilfred, and glee definitely continue to keep it alive, it wont be fifteen years before my 60" only exists as a second screen for the iLimb surgically replacing everyone's forearm that receives and has calling, text, multimedia media messaging as well as a built in holodisk player, internet, and the best app-market in the world. oh, and you'll literally know the apple logo like the back of your hand.
