Chapter 80 Disruption
by Leesa Dean
The conception of disruption with regards to the internet is relatively new. What it means is, something, let’s say broadcast television exists and something else, let’s say, streaming digital media, comes in and replaces it as a preferred mode of viewing.
There’s been a lot of talk about disruption lately, mainly because of the huge game-changing news that both HBO and CBS will have independent streaming models in 2015. Meaning, if you’re a huge Game of Thrones fanatic and subscribe to HBO in a cable tv package from a provider, you no longer will need the cable tv package. It’s a cord-cutters delight.
Michael Wolff has a different take on it. Wolff is a long-time writer about tech and media and even had one of the first start-ups years ago and wrote about it in a pretty juicy book. Wolff says that versus the internet disrupting TV, TV is really disrupting the internet.
I’m a foodie and love to eat. In spite of that, or maybe because, I had no expectations when I sat down to watch the film CHEF, written and directed by IRON MAN’s Jon Favreau.
