You know that tipping point thing? Well, there's one happening right now. What do you reckon is happening when a boy in the USA and a girl in UK both prefer to watch YouTube rather than television?
From Jeremy Clarkson's piece in The Sunday Times :
Now my daughter only really watches YouTube. There’s no plot. No Attenborough explaining stuff. No tedious instructions on how to make a space helmet out of a squeezy bottle. No adverts. Just loads of people falling off their bicycles and catching fire. And when she finds one she likes a lot, she watches it over and over again. For nothing.
From Doc Searls Weblog:
The main reason I’m posting this is to pass along what the kid said after we did a scan from one end of the “dial” to the other.
“There’s nothing on”, he said. And walked away.
What would “something” be?
“Oh, you know. Like on YouTube”.
There's something going on ...
