The evidence is already obvious in any US high school. I know, I am teacher. Just as soon as you step through the door you spot kids with cell phones, ipods, DS games, etc… Teachers don’t write their daily lessons on chalk boards any more, we have white boards (smart boards, promethian boards, whatever brand/flavor you prefer) instead. If I want my students to stay informed about assignments, after school rehearsals or performances dates I list them on my…… BLOG! Yes, that’s right. Kid’s don’t want to read off of a paper (that they will lose!) anymore and I don’t want to have to repeat myself fifty million times so I post the information on my school blog and when they need to know they blog it! FYI, in another ten years text books will become obsolete. The trend is already starting. Schools in more affluent areas are distributing laptops to kids. Instead of passing out text books on the first day of class they are downloading them. How do you like them apples?

Thanks for sharing your story.

I like being called clever:) What a great post. You say it all so well. I love the TV analogy too–with the big three, I hadn’t heard that before. I love your take on the future. The Understorey is next up for me, can’t wait!

And, of course you’re staggering you’re PJ HOOVER! p.s. did you know your name reminds me of the Disney film, ‘Robin Hood’? Little John calls prince John PJ. To me, you’ll forever be ‘peej’, I think. Unless, you have a problem with it, then you’ll change back to PJ. LOL.

Patti! Heck yeah, they’re changing. Consumers are taking over!

Dani, I think you’re a kindred spirit. Bowler hats are for the criminally amazing. Just give me my green apple.

M, shove over and pass me the salt. You and me, kid. You and me.

And aren’t we happy about it? This is a free market economy–since when do a handful of large corporations think they can put a monopoly on creativity? GO INDIE!!!

It’s true and it’s exciting! Keep wearing that hat ’cause it looks good on you. FYI…I’m totally imagining your figurative Indie hat as a Robert-Downey-Jr.-Sherlock-Holmesian-bowler. It’s awesome….and stylish.

You’re going to turn the Indie world on its ear. I’m grabbing some popcorn and settling in to enjoy the show:) We’re all better off for having known you and your very moving work.
