Video and the Internet, Now and the Future
This is a presentation I did for my class at Fordham University: New Media and Mass Communication.
This presentation covers several different areas concerning video and the internet. It will start with a look at the near term inevitability of internet video being streamed to television sets on a large scale by examining important transitional steps being taken by video equipment manufacturers such as Sony and Roku, cable operators such as Comcast and Charter Communications, and content distributors such as Netflix. Next, it covers some current offerings which index television programming on the web. I take a look at YouTube and its newest feature as well as a few other video driven websites such as Vimeo. A more unique offering I will cover will be the growth of websites offering users the ability to broadcast audio and video live(whether it be pre-recorded or truly live. Finally, I will briefly cover ,revenue/advertising for internet video and summarize my findings to make a prediction as to the future direction of Internet Video and how it will change the current program delivery methods.

Pointing the Camera at the Monitor… So thats what happens.
Ok, really bored. I was in the car waiting on my wife and was going through the Canon HV30 manual and menus…when all of a sudden — I was distracted by pointing my HV30 camera at the monitor and getting this mirror effect. So I messed around for a minute, then went back to studying the HV30 manual.
So, even though this video is essentially crap, it illustrates a cool effect that could be used constructively for something. May look really cool in front of a 52″ screen as opposed to the 9″ one that I used.
