"The internet is great partly because people chose what they do how and at what pace, because it's more like a book and less like TV, and making it more like TV is not improvement."
What's great about the internet is that "it" doesn't have to choose whether to be more like a book or more like TV. It can do both things equally well, and whether you're making something "book-like" or "TV-like" it's cheaper to get started than it is to publish an actual book or TV program.
Well worth thinking about.
