CBC's "Stamp" of Approval
A pretty indication that a technology trend has stopped being cutting edge is when CBC decides to do a story on it. The last item on CBC radio's evening newscast was about podcasting - featuring a kid who claimed he was “goofy” but sounded pretty lame as it put together a podcast about his daily life. The CBC has a habit of jumping late onto many tech trends, and when they finally discover something that seems innovative, they make it sound like a new development they've uncovered. You get the feeling when CBC covers cool technology, it's all part of their master corporate plan to lure a younger audience - which is another story completely. So what's the point? Not sure there is one here but it feels good to rant at an organization that does such a good job of spending my tax dollars.
