Let the paradigms be shiftin'. The mobile device is still such an ivory tower (in the US). I kind of feel like there won't be any drastic innovations on the mobile phone without some kind of government intervention. I’m with you brother. Let the paradigms be shiftin’.

Video provides a great medium for certain types of expression, not to mention the plain damn functionality of a common, easily digestible linear audio/visual tool. But podcasting is a distribution tool, and one that is little more than bastardized video conferencing. Take the relationship dialog with those two nerds we looked at in class, its email with video, mailing video-tapes to each other in the mail, writing a letter—just another iteration of pen-pallism. My biggest worry is the complacence factor. People get something. It works. Its fine. Why change? Blah blah blah, paradigm shift, digital revolution, blah blah, more angry nerd stuff.
