FUTURE OF TELEVISION UNVEILED IN ISRAEL... yes, you read it right...by Hollywood2020.blogs.com, Joyce Schwarz --you may have to go to Raanana,Israel to see the future of television -- at least many people did yesterday at the Israeli VC summit there. We caught this kewl post about that event by Tali Aben who managers Gemini's Silicon Valley operation...Here's a link to her blog which we catch every now and then...we just did a search for the FUTURE OF TELEVISION tonight and this came up. Microsoft/Gemini event on the Future of Television .
BEST QUOTE ABOUT TV: excerpted from the blog post linked above
“I prefer an aquarium to a TV. With the Internet you can choose to be interactive or not. With TV, you’re passive, your brain goes into neutral. An aquarium is much better - it has only 1 dynamic channel”, Yossi Vardi speaking at a Future of Television event in Israel this week.
We have to agree with VC Tali Aben that this is a great quote by Yossi Vardi, founding investor and former Chairman of Mirabilis, ICQ (who we've met and used to correspond with frequently in the early days of ICQ). Thanks for that shout out!
(full disclosure, Joyce Schwarz, Hollywood2020 blogger does do some consulting for Gemini clients...we were not involved with this event, nor did we even know about it).
You can always count on Yossi Vardi for some great thoughts! Nobody phrases things quite like him.
