Mark Cuban shares some of his opinions on the future of TV entertainment in the average, American household. The block quote below is from the end of the article, but it rings true to me as to highlight the fact that regardless of how it’s delivered, we continually just consume what’s available to us. AND we’re GOOD AT IT!
I also want to make one last point. As a country, we are TV savvy. In particular, Americans are well trained in “TV Analysis”. We all have been in “do I want to watch this” training for most of our lives. We can watch and analysis mere seconds of a show and determine if its something we want to committ to a Phase 2 on . Phase 2 gets you to the next commercial or until you recognize a keeper or turner trigger. Channel surfing is a sport that I think most of us take pride in. Doing research about TV shows. Well, Im not a believer. I want to nest when i watch.
Regardless of what you may think of Mark Cuban’s antics and opinions that always seem to be highlighted on SportsCenter and not in the mainstream news, he is a brilliant business man. Right along with that, he seems to have a knack for making good calls on what the future may bring in the realm of entertainment.
Now if I can just figure out all the meaning and thought behind the recent flurry of players traded between my Indiana Pacers and the Dallas Mavericks.
