Al Gore's Television revolution?

Has anyone read Al Gore's speech from the We Media Conference,
reproduced on Alternet?

i don't know about his romantic historicism of the great literate age
and the "founding fathers" (that term always makes me queasy), but i
have to say, i liked it much better when postmodernism was the
"radical" cultural gesture. you know you're in trouble when "reason"
and "rational thought" are radical ideas.
