digiverse vs. live professional performing arts

In this TED talk arts administrator  Ben Cameron speaks eloquently of the battle between time spent accessing the digiverse and what that means for the time society is prepared to spend enjoying live professional performing arts. 

TED describes this talk as follows: "Arts administrator and live-theater fan Ben Cameron looks at the state of the live arts -- asking: How can the magic of live theater, live music, live dance compete with the always-on Internet? ...  he offers a bold look forward."
