NHK & J-Pop Summit Ponders the Future of TV What is a 'Directhon'? A Directhon is NHK's (the BBS of Japan) vision of an ideathon focused at the future of TV. The organizer said "TV is in crisis." The nerds at Nerd Stalker were grateful to attend a collaborative event put on by NHK and J-pop Summit . An 'Ideathon' is a twist on a hackathon where teams of people come together to brainstorm in a quick session on the future and present a concept. The future can be five, 10 or 15 years away. In this case, NHK wanted the near-term vision of 2022 and the ideathon participants to be the TV director. The 'crisis' of TV is well-documented but the solutions are varied if not out maybe somewhat out there. NHK asked all of our teams to consider what either a platform or channel will look like in 2022.
