Though this is a crisis for many big business, we believe it is a special opportunity for small business.

Each of these industries is getting into the other's business. Competition is already fierce and it'll get even tougher. The media will have a field day. Yet, this convergence is impacting everybody, especially the media, and even they are profoundly wondering what the future holds for them.

The old game of business has really changed and it is faster-quicker-better. Every one is overwhelmed.

Plus, we've all been innundated with stupid, nasty, exploitive and dangerous (virus-laden) emails and we all have landed on many very nasty websites. Our Wild, Wild, West looks like it is out of control. And, those who hate the West would love to see us implode and, just to help it along, they will send their anarchists to help.

We can get our house in order. We can push back the nastiest stuff into the darkest allies of web where it all belongs. The owners of the search engines will stop indexing those sites based on their own personal sensibilities and those sensibilities or their employees. The fundamental indexing schema will eventually have a valuation-by-guests so "strictly adult entertainment" will get pushed behind a network of server firewalls where kids will find it more difficult to go.

On the positive side of the equation, we all have also marveled at the overnight billionaires who have thoughtfully crafted a site that virtually creates a new industry overnight. It has become quite apparent that small groups have special advantages and that being big can stifle creativity and spontaneity. We all understand how "faster and cheaper" is possible, but being "better" requires new insight. And here, the future is being defined within real relations (a sense of belonging and participating) and shared, core values. Here, the important people become the people within a community who know how to create jobs, who create wealth for many, and who try to make the world a better place.

Media pundits and producers -- forever looking at the bad -- de facto "encourage the bad, confuse the marginal, and weaken the strong." You'll see that expression used often throughout this web site.

We learn best through analogies and that is all television gives us.

For most of the media it takes too much time and insight and money to make the good news truly interesting, yet that is yesterday's thinking, especially in light of these converging industries. First, digital workflow makes it easier for everyone to begin crafting and contexting the positive. Second, with the constant growth of competition, small, highly-focused populations are better than large populations of unattentuated couch potatoes (the old television viewers).

Our culture needs to recover from the past 30+ years of lifting up nasty people in the news and as subjects of so many television and cinematic dramas; it is time for a change.

It is the time for all of us to focus our attention on airwaves that lift up and explore that which is truly important to our future -- positive role models who demonstrate creativity in action, core values and disciplines, and a real sense of community building.

The time is now to produce 4000 episodes per year that can compete with the likes of HBO's The Sopranos.
