New Technology and the Future of News Media and More
RIT on TV News: Tech Gifts (2008)
New Technology for the Television (2012)
Technology and TV News (2011)
The following is something I wrote a long time go. I wish I knew when I wrote it, I didn't even put the date.
Well, I hope all of you enjoy reading it anyway:
The Future of Tech Media—Five years in the Making
By Ralonda R Green
Ever since the internet’s arrival—technology has not been the same. Giving way to social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, and twitter—it might seem to some that technical advances are quickly developed at just a click of a mouse or push of a button. Back in our grandparents’ day—technology and new ideas were hard to come by compared with today. It used to take an estimated ten years before a new technology in media could fully be established—now it’s just may be five months or a few days.
My prediction of the future of technical broadcasting is that the technology will become more robotic and extremely simple—in the next five years. As I’ve stated above, our technical abilities are vastly progressing at an accelerated rate. For example, with the special computerized effects displayed in the box-office hit Avatar was so intensely detailed—audiences claimed they felt that they were so apart of the film and it felt so real that they forgot it was 3-D. Advanced graphic systems are becoming so sharp in every pixel—movie goers or TV viewers will not be able to dissever between graphics and the realness of the scene.
I believe in the next five years TV and video cameras will be robotic in nature—large systematic units that will operate by only the use of maybe four to ten buttons—located on the switchboard in the television studio. These cameras will have similar motion technology as the photo-cameras we have today. Their have been advertisements of picture cameras installed with what is called motion censored—where if someone smiles, the camera can automatically spot it and form the needed viewing sequence for the photographer to capture that subject. Video cameras will have these capabilities—at a LA Lakers’ game, these robotic cameras will automatically sense motion—smile, laughter, foot movement and the very motion of the basketball. These units will be controlled by only a few individuals in the studio, no camera personal needed because the Lakers’ stadium will have several computerized units with cable components streaming to the studio, attached to another unit-screen—enabling the director and tech-director to see and view potential shots—without the assistance of camera operators operating each unit. These capabilities will be used in films, PR programming, news, etc.
My next prediction concerning technical broadcasting is the total switch to the Internet. It’s a stretch, but the Internet is so full of information and with a new idea called “Convergent media” well any one could guess that this is where we are headed toward. Imagine—no one has to wait in line for hours at a movie premier or spend $7 to $10 of their hard earned money. There will be massive website units designed for films to premier online—audiences will be able to view and blog about the film at the same time—ratings for the film will be ten-times easier to gather, there will even be a separate screen where movie credits analyze and voice their opinion—at the same time others are viewing, others will blog about credits comments—blogs will then be computed into the ratings system.
News will also be the victim of change completely to the Internet. Newspapers/magazines will have shutdown news stands and give way to posting all their articles and ads on their specified units. The Washington Post and New York Times will have to do without killing lots of trees and settle for just their computer screens at home. But questions still remain, if these predictions come true--the production process will take little or no intense effort, what will happen to the broadcasting job market, will it deplete and will the quality of media become dull, and extremely selective than objective? We can never be sure, but what I do feel is that our world is advancing quickly and if were not careful—we not be ready to catch-up.

Santorum Weighs In on Trayvon Case
Rick Santorum didn't really say much about the Tayvon Martin case, rightfully so sense he is running for office, however, I don't truly agree with him on the most part when it come to Florida's "Stand-Your-Ground" law.
I feel that as much as we now know about the law, it needs to be reevaluated and certain clauses maybe needed to be part in place in case something -- like the Tayvon incident-- ever happens again. It is in need to be made more clear of how it should be applied.
Well, this has been "my-2-cents," I am Ralonda Green, saying Jesus loves you and signing out!
The Fight Is On -- Piers vs. Toure` over Tayvon Case
The fight seems to be on between Morgan and Toure` over the Trayvon Martin case, as Toure` argues that Piers is being both un-objective and un-caring toward the situation, and that having Zimmerman's brother on Piers' Tonight show for an interview was "detrimental" to listeners and to the case itself.
While Toure` was discussing how Piers' was not challenging Robert Zimmerman when interviewing him on the show, however, Piers' fought back by showing Toure` a clip of the interview where Piers' felt that he had challenged Robert to best of his ability.
I feel that this argument between Toure` and Piers' is unjustified and unprofessional on both sides to an extent. The case of Tayvon Martin's death is already heated-up and racially charged enough without this "cat-dog" fight that's going on between to men who are supposed to be professionals in their field.
I believe that Toure` was way out of line and needs to take a step back and think about what he is arguing, and Piers should have seen where this was going and ended the show early...

Trayvon's parents on Anderson Cooper & Black Pathers' voice out
This an interview on Anderson Cooper's Talk Show with Trayvon Martin's father and mother discussing their son, the case, and their loss and pain.
Love, mercy, forgiveness, and truth is the real justice that needs to be sought after, not hate or violence or revenge. The Black Panther organization is NOT what Trayvon Martin's family is in need of right now. The family needs people that will be there for them-- for the right reason -- during this tragic period in their lives.
They wish for a 'proper" investigation into their son's case, and for certain parties to be held accountable for their part in either the incident or any actions taking place after the fact. Accuracy should be the goal of both the police department, the justice system, and news media -- NOT sensationalism/ratings.
If there is more to this Florida case than what is being told, then it should be disclosed. If there was any fowl-play regarding events taken place involving Martin and Mark Zimmerman -- then let the truth -- whole truth be brought forth.
BUT -- let not emotions get so wrapped-up, or so high that it clouds sound judgement, detours us from God's love, leading us down a path to destruction -- America can not afford that to be entrapped by a web of fear and hate, and neither can Martin's family.
Let us not do what the Black Panthers are advocating, but lets bring forth justice through the love of God and the power of Jesus Christ...
