The possibilities of new video technology is unlimited. Ipods allow students to download and edit films and music whenever we like. The “play” suggested by Anderson is very convenient to users. Instead watching corny Crest commercials prior to watching our favorite music video, we can now use advanced technologies such as clip creator, to edit the video however we desire.
I agree that media has come very personalized. People are no longer satisfied with just viewing media, they now want to have input. Advanced technology, such as blogs, Ipods, and MAC allow the user to add their creative talents in a personal or public setting.
Anderson mentioned the term “relatively detachable” in reference to music. I think that this term is also closely related to film. Television is strongly connected to television stations and companies, unlike blogs or MAC; however, like music we can make film our own. We do this through recording videos or burning CDS. Even DVR is a source of relative detachment. Is this good? Should we be allowed to record or copy anything ? I think so…we to a certain extent.
I agree, I think we should be able to record or copy anything to a certain extent. A limit should only be placed on things because some people could take it too far. I think it’s good to have choices. We should be able to make things more personal. I mean we are the ones who hae to listen to these Ipods or read these blogs. Also, true we may be detached, but I love DVR. I don’t have to worry about rushing home or missing class, just to catch my favorite show.
