Video has arrived

Video has arrived but it may take another ten years before it becomes widespread. It works but those who could employ video cannot agree on it's terms. It is interesting to watch the slow struggle from the lab to the boardroom. There was an initial rush but so many fingers got burnt that they are twice shy so it needs a new generation of leadership to arrive. There will be growing pains because the bottom line will overrule the quality and that will result in many false starts. We are in the false start era now. But it will take one or two high profile successes to open the floodgates. Usually it takes a few years before the right combination of need and seed germinate into something flourishing.
