The Television Will Be Revolutionized, Second Edition

Go behind the TV screen to explore what is changing, why it is changing, and why the changes matters
Many proclaimed the ¿end of television¿ in the early years of the twenty-first century, as capabilities and features of the boxes that occupied a central space in American living rooms for the preceding fifty years were radically remade. In this revised, second edition of her definitive book, Amanda D.

Shifts in the basic practices of making and distributing television have not been hastening its demise, but are redefining what we can do with television, what we expect from it, how we use it¿in short, revolutionizing it.
