I have no idea what the "new news" will look like, but I know it will arrive. Look at how people have turned their creativity loose on the iPhone. In just 16 months, thousands of developers have created 85,000 applications for that device. The same will happen with tablets. These powerful devices with constant Internet access will enable us (and force us) to rethink media. What is a newspaper? What is a book? What is a movie? What is entertainment? Somewhere out there, the Orson Welles of the digital age is in grade school, or maybe high school. Soon he or she will be inventing a new language for telling stories. I can't wait to see what it looks like.

This article actually gave me chills when I read it. It makes me think that not everyone in the MSM has their head buried in the sand. Lyons seems to understand how technology changes the world in ways we can't imagine. Just look to history for evidence of this. We're witnessing history first-hand. We're the active participants in the birth of a new world where technology will change the way we do everything.
Pretty. Damn. Cool.
