Taking on a new course about TV and the future…
Stephen: Television is a difficult subject to teach.
Stephen: So, I’ve been asked to teach a course on the future of television.
Marshall: That’s a challenge.
Stephen: I’ve talked to the professor who taught the course before. He treated it like a history of the medium and tried to foretell how it would develop.
Marshall: Like driving into the future using only the rearview mirror?

What makes it difficult to teach this subject is that technology is disrupting the medium faster than history is incrementally changing its nature.
