NEW YORK (Reuters) - CBS News on Tuesday unveiled plans to enlarge its online presence with a 24-hour broadband Internet service providing video clips that consumers can assemble into their own individually tailored newscasts.

If reading that opening paragraph doesn’t make you roll your eyes may we share with you a different article with the latest on Al “Inventor of the Internet” Gore’s non-success?

Al Gore promises that Current TV will be as interactive and democratic as the Internet. But already his restless young audience is wondering whether the network will be another rerun.

What is wrong with you people? The internet is killing TV, because it is not TV. Remember when TV came to households across the U.S. in the late ‘40s? Yeah, Film attendance has never reached the same proportions since 1949. TV changed film forever because (*gasp*) it is not film. We would go on to mention radio and the telegraph but we know you are probably starting to notice a pattern.

TV is an expensive, one-way medium and we live in a weird historical bubble in which mass-media that is one way dominates the landscape. Prior to the 19th century it was pretty much everyone talking amongst themselves (a note to our marketing/pr readers: they didn’t use the word “interactive” back then because there was no such thing as non-interactive).

We just got out of our time machine and can say definitively that no one-way mediums are big in the future so please, Al Gore and CBS, stop wasting your time on TV.

Don’t make us bitchslap you from the future again.
