TV's new model?

In a post dense with ideas about the future of television, Noah Brier wonders if television will eventually deliver two different forms of content: the traditional “live” form and a new “time shifted” form enabled by DVR and related technologies.

There’s also a thought-provoking quote from Jared of the Naked NYC blog: “Technology and music reward early adoption, but television does not.”

Agreed. I just finished watching Arrested Development for the first time. About halfway through the first disc, I was glad I hadn’t seen the show when it was on TV; I would have been too heartbroken upon hearing of its cancellation.
