Memo für die Kabelnetzbetreiber Deutschlands:
Hier gibt es keinen Kabelanschluss,
hier gab es keinen Kabelanschluss,
hier wird es keinen Kabelanschluss geben.
Ich wüsste auch nicht, was wir damit sollen, wir haben nämlich keinen Fernseher.

Eine gute Gelegenheit allerdings, etwas zu verlinken, das schon länger in meiner Bookmarkliste schlummert.
Ein sehr schöner Text von Clay Shirky zum Thema Fernsehen. Ganz besonders gefällt mir folgender Absatz:
„I was having dinner with a group of friends about a month ago, and one of them was talking about sitting with his four-year-old daughter watching a DVD. And in the middle of the movie, apropos nothing, she jumps up off the couch and runs around behind the screen. That seems like a cute moment. Maybe she’s going back there to see if Dora is really back there or whatever. But that wasn’t what she was doing. She started rooting around in the cables. And her dad said, „What you doing?“ And she stuck her head out from behind the screen and said, „Looking for the mouse.“
Here’s something four-year-olds know: A screen that ships without a mouse ships broken. Media that’s targeted at you but doesn’t include you may not be worth sitting still for.“
