RTE should mark this day

#“RTE should mark this day”

I know I know, I do the early adopter crap all the time. "Broadcast TV is dead", "Shows will all be single-purchase via IPTV in 2 years" "I don't even know who presents the News on RTE now" "Late Late What?".

But the average punter is still tuning in and watching the same old stuff, maybe a bit time-delayed by Sky+, but that's it.

So, as always, we have to look at what the kids are doing to see what's really coming next.

Last night I realised that the day has come where Early Adopter Mindset = Irish Tween Mindset and all my predictions are now going to start hitting the mainstream soon.

Why?

Because my 11 year old son said "Yeah, I saw that on the RTE Channel………..on YouTube".

I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what RTE actually is.

The end is nigh.

Oh, and the Boxee Box will be available to buy on Monday :-)
