It’s worth the 15 minutes of “TV” time to hear what this guy has to say about new media.
I think it was a couple years ago that people started asking me “where do you get the time”, in reference to my blogging. Then I started thinking, and realized it was from the time I used to spend reading, or watching TV. I now watch about as much TV in a month as I used to watch in a day. I had the same decrease in my first months away from home, and at university about a decade ago.
My realization is part of why I formed The Teleban.

Shirky is quickly becoming one of my favorite thinkers. Currently reading Here Comes Everybody.

People always ask me where I find time to blog. It’s a weird question. Where do they find time to watch TV?

When someone’s asking about “time” for blogging, what they’re really thinking is that only geeks like to use computers, so the LONGER the time using the computer, the geekier (and thus less desirable) the person is. It’s their loss really, they’re still on the sitcom bender :-)
