Podcasting:Wikipedia Article

It was interesting to read the Precursor portion of the Wikipedia article. It amazes me how such groundbreaking technologies like podcasting has been around for years. As the article mentions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_podcasting) technologies very similar to what we now call podcasting existed before the World Wide Web, some as early as the 1980s.
I find the evolution of technology scary and exciting at the same time because with the rapid advancement of technology it is difficult to fathom what will happen next. Just as Radio Computing Services and Mbone were precursors to podcasting, podcasting will soon be the precursor to something else.
