‘This is the future of TV, ‘ Dan Schneider, creator and executive producer of Nickelodeon’s ‘iCarly,’ told TV writers on Friday. The journalists, as inundated with new technology as anyone, were ready to believe it.

‘iCarly’ is a show-within-a-show, that invites tween-age viewers to submit their own videos, a la YouTube, to be included in the show, which will premiere in September. Designed for kids who have grown up with a multitude of media, the show gives viewers specific assignments that relate to an upcoming show. They are then directed to a website to post their content.
