>The next question is how long society will tolerate this before reverting back to conformity and three "channels" again.
I, for one, hope this doesn't happen. I'd like to think that we'll reach a happy middle-ground. When the entertainment industry realizes that they can't continue to sell us crap anymore because we'll produce better stuff ourselves, they'll be forced to put out quality programs, or else they'll loose those precious dollars.
Besides, TV/radio/internet aren't the only things people have/do for entertainment. I don't think there is any real risk of politics, evil corporations, and the weather being the only things people have in common. We can go rock clmibing or caving or whatnot, and I assure you conversations centering around those kinds of activities are far more intresting than discussing what happned on Seinfeld the night before.

Perhaps you could run for office yourself.
