1002.09 FUTURE TV

Whilst watching iPlayer this morning I was reminded of a television programme I saw many years ago where Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) spoke about the future of tv and (as I recall) how there would become a day when the tv schedules would become a thing of the past as television would be posted on the internet. Although we're not quite there yet, I believe the catch up players of today, especially BBC's iPlayer, are the first steps towards the realisation of this vision.
