The Future of Media #81: Get Out Your Crystal Ball

This post deals with the trends that are happening around us that are replacing the way we did things in the not so distant past. I am asked to discuss the "developments listed" and which one will have the most influence. Seriously, who comes up with this list? I read the blog and I didn't really know if they were referring to blu-rays or downloading movies or something else entirely. (These posts have started to resemble homework assignments where the blogger has to answer all the questions in order to get full credit). Either way, if I am to answer this question, I will say that blu-ray technology will have the most influence.

Sure, they are a not as cheap as regular discs, but more and more people are starting to purchase high-definition televisions. Sooner or later they too will want to watch movies that use this technology to the fullest, and what better way than to watch a blu-ray movie (unless you download it from the cable companies in true HD). One technology that I have seen more and more as of lately is Gesture-Controlled technology. (This is the technology that Tom Cruise used in the movie Minority Report).

I like to know what new technology is out there, and when possible I upgrade. The latest thing was my HD television and blu-ray player. I also do a lot of presentations for church functions and other social events (somehow I have a life outside of video games and playing with my cat). Anyway, this is a small video of something that may prove to make presentations much more exciting.
