MBC Media Cafe

Would you like a latte with your Dragnet? [press release here]

Museum of Broadcast Communications announced plans today to build a street-level cafe where users can access materials from the digital archive while sipping coffee or enjoying a snack.
Touch screens will make the collection very accessible to the casual user or the serious researcher. Is this museum 2.0?
Ideas for a step further....Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to access their content through iTunes? Did Grandma make a reference to Clutch Cargo and the kids just don't get it? (available on DVD in their store) That would rock if you could download an episode to bridge the generational gap. Old radio programs on MP3? What a way to introduce older users to new technology! Or introduce new users to older content! The museum could even make this a perk of becoming a museum member.

I can't wait until they reopen, I frequently stopped in when they were located at the Cultural Center.
