Marketing Vox reports that NBC will be distributing TV shows on ITunes, eleven of them to be exact; included will be Law & Order, Dragnet, Knight Rider and the Tonight Show and Conan O’Brien…they will be available first thing in the morning after the night they air on the West Coast for $1.99.

The medium, or process, of our time-electric technology-is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life. It is forcing us to reconsider and reevaluate practically every thought, every action, and every institution formerly taken for granted.

And they are changing dramatically.              Marshall McLuhan 1967

If you aren’t convinced read this:The Video IPod Goes to School was posted by Tris Hussey at A View From the Isle. He is talking about a class at Carleton University in Ottawa where the lecture that is being given is available through ITunes…an audio or video lecture available anywhere/anytime. The University of British Columbia is making some awesome digital content available free through ITunes. University of Washington, Purdue, and Drexel are a few other universities doing similar things.
