Very well said. Allen Shaw has always been a sage for "what's next." He predicted the unbelievable success of FM radio in the late 60s and through the 80s when others said it would never beat AM Top 40. He also predicted that satellite radio would falter should it stray from its free-form style. They have and it is now stumbling.
It's encouraging to know he "sees" the same thing happening with this medium.
I agree, also what he says about "it looks so easy". This applies to more forms of entertainment. You'd be surprised how many people think that actors in plays or musicians in bands just get on stage and play. They don't realize the work behind it because part of the art is to _make_ it look easy, and so it does look easy.
This is the same on internetvideo, nobody is looking for videos where you can see how hard someone is working. You want easy listening/viewing entertainment.
