The Web and TV, A Sibling Rivalry

I came across this over the weekend and thought it was worth sharing – it takes an interesting look at emerging media and tech history and includes some priceless footage from the 1960s. In this quick half hour presentation, Peter shares some important lessons from Silicon Valley and explains why the web is so much more than “better TV.”

Noteworthy are Peter’s comments on how tech folks “talk different” and how the almost (irrational) religious evangelizing of tech by participants in the tech movement moves us forward to the next thing.

For those of you who are curious, Peter Hirshberg is a Silicon Valley executive, entrepreneur and marketing specialist. He is a founder of Goodmail Systems, and a current board member of ICTV, and serves on the advisory boards of start-ups Technorati and Informative.  Check out his blog on disruptive culture and technology – it’s worth a read.
