Iger: Computer Will Replace TV As “Primary Source of Entertainment”

By Chris Ariens 

B&C’s Michael Malone has the news from this morning’s McGraw-Hill Media Summit where Disney CEO Bob Iger conceded the computer is replacing TV as the primary entertainment source in the home.

“In the years ahead, broadband on the computer will be the primary source of entertainment for kids,” Iger told the group. “It’s just as important to them as the TV set now.” Malone writes, “Iger stressed how social media was far from a Gen X or Gen Y fad, but in fact a part of everyday life for children.”

Oh, and he only has two Facebook friends. Come on people, help a CEO out!
