Interesting question and yours is a very good reply. I don't feel that it resembles early TV because that required access to expensive equipment that put it out of reach of all but the few.
I am constantly amazed at all the wonderful stuff the Net throws up. Yes, a lot of the stuff out there is crap, but every so often a gem appears. I also love the way it encourages both individual creativity (blogs, Flickr, cartoons, comic strips, ) and communal efforts, either done by groups of friends, such as Shadow Unit or a new band launching themselves via MySpace or by the contributions of random stranger, eg Lolcats.
And then all this is mixed in with information and entertainment provided by existing big players, such as daily newspapers and the BBC.

I do like living in the future. :)
