From an opening for a presentation I had to do today in front of a group of people…<\/p>\n
“Today, the digital medium has become ‘The Media’. Leaving the movie, record, television and print industries reeling in it’s wake. For the internet, ordinary people have become the ‘new’ content providers. I have decided to step into this new medium.”<\/em><\/p>\n I proceeded to show all the equipment I had aquired over the years to create this digital medium. Various digital cameras, digital camcorder, card readers, portable DVD player, as well as other accessories.<\/p>\n I also talked how the technology has helped in able to record an event an show to someone else later. I also talked about taking family photos and burning them onto mini 8cm CDs. I was able to send out copies to rest of the family in their Christmas cards. Of course, I showed the group some of the clips of Anime North Masquerade, which I’m still in the process of editing.<\/p>\n I also started that buying top of the line<\/em> for new technology is not necessary since the first time you have something new has it’s own ‘learning curve<\/em>‘ to it. Also the accessories like more batteries, tapes, memory, upgrades needed to run said technology and of course taxes run about a third to a half of your total outlay. Also you can research consumer reports to find out which are lemons.<\/p>\n Also on the other foot, buying something too old has it problems of finding accessories down the road.<\/p>\n The key is knowing buying into digital will be a learning curve and also a risk. Like my sister, their computer hard drive crashed. Taking with it all the pictures she took. Knowing that digital is not safe media by any means having a way to backup your pictures and videos. Anything can breakdown or be lost or stolen.<\/p>\n The new age of digital is a risk but a worthwhile journey if taken in steps.<\/p>\n …and they thought I was going to take only about just anime. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From an opening for a presentation I had to do today in front of a group of people… “Today, the digital medium has become ‘The Media’.
