A New Dawn Arises...01/10/00
by Mitch Battros  (ECTV)

Folks, I believe we witnessed the dawn of a new era today. It was the surprise merger between AOL and Time/Warner. We knew it was coming, but we didn't know when. We knew it was coming, but we didn't know who. We knew it was coming, but we didn't know how. I had chills down to my bones as I was watching. What I noticed most was the peaceful sense of vision and serenity between all parties. I believe we witnessed "synergy" in action.

I know some of you will be ready to attack me for what you may call, my naive outlook. Well, maybe your right, but I don't think so. I can only go by my gut feeling and intuition of the people involved. I could not help but notice the very important words and thought provoking message they stated when discussing the vision they share. It was the way they emphasized the honor of people that are the backbone of any company. I believe their cause is good and helpful to all. Each person involved made a strong statement as to a new style of management which honors people from one end of a corporation to another. I discuss in detail this very phenomenon in my book "The Inverted Pyramid". It truly is the way of the future.

Here are the players: Time Warner's chairman, Gerald M. Levin. America Online's chairman and chief executive, Steve Case and Ted Turner, founder of CNN and current vice chairman of Time Warner. In my opinion, Ted Turner stole the show. I have become a huge admirer of Ted Turner. He has come from an old Jack Daniels Black label drunk, to what I believe to be one of the greatest trend setters of our time. He stood out to be what I would describe as "a true elder".

There is not a person I have met in the field of computers and Internet who knew for sure the direction or method we would mature into the 21st century. I believe today was the first glimpse of things to come.

I have been so moved with what I experienced today, I will be setting up a new page on our main menu for us to share ideas. If you witnessed today's event, and your reaction is similar in any way to what I experienced, please contact me. <earthcng@earthlink.net>  In addition to networking with you, I will post events as they unfold on our new "A New Dawn" page (working title).

I am convinced Earth Changes TV is an unbelievably effective medium to branch in many directions for this new dawn. Please help me in developing Earth Changes TV to be one of the most informative TV Shows, Web Site, Newsletter, Streaming Audio, Streaming Video, Interactive Symposium, Networking Station, Information Store House (please add what I have left out) etc., in the arena of earth and space phenomenon. We have been around for 5 years, and have hundreds of shows which include interviews of the top scientist and visionaries in their field.

As might have noticed, I am very excited with what is happening. Join me to make ECTV one of the most effective and worthy "new media" company's in the nation/world. It is time to take it to a new level.

PASS THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

Best Wishes To All,
