I really enjoyed John Caldwell’s essay, “Convergent TV.” It stood out to me as the most knowledgeable or “profound” of the three essays we read for this week. Caldwell seemed to predict the ways in which TV would converge into a system of online streaming platforms. For example, his analysis of octopus.com and how it would become an indicator of the how TV industry would become interactive was very intuitive. He also seemed to have a grasp on how TV would be pirated in similar ways to how napster operated. Overall, I find it very insightful for an essay that was included in Spigel’s book in 2004.
