“As a kid, I fantasized about having a kitchen sink with dozens of faucets. Not only would it dispense hot and cold water, but also chocolate milk, macaroni and cheese, and boneless fried chicken. It’s a testament to the primitiveness of the times (and my imagination) that I never dreamed of owning such a device for movies. “
That was my reaction as well to the service. What interestes me is the potential for this as a library service at some point. Libraries are already that type of multi-headed, hydra-like service, but they’re just not in your home yet. I’m sure there would be interest in streaming, freely viewable videos … oh, wait. That’s YouTube. Just as iPods are now available at many circulation desks, and audio books in some OPACs, I’m sure this type of thing will eventually filter down once it’s main-stream enough. [no pun intended]
