Technology: The New Media

Newspapers are so afraid of it that they tie themselves into knotts. The music industry has sued the pants off of its on customer base. The movie industry sent out its spokesman to accuse college students of universally stealing its property. And Steve Jobs discovered a way to use it and make the company he helped found profitable again. And what's this stuff about Google—isn't that a search engine—paying a king's fortune to some group of guys who invented some Web site called YouTube?

Today's New York Times features an article by David Carr called, "Idiosyncratic and Personal, PC Edges TV," that addresses the subject in the most articulate manner I've seen yet. (Eat your heart out, Charlie Rose.)
