week 5

As I was watching the first you tube video clip of ABC world news I found it very boring, but yet straight to the point and being straight to the point can be good. Though while I was watching The Obama and Oprah you tube video clip I found it to be interesting, it had more things going on, like more sounds, a scrolling text box and more graphics happening. This made the topic more intense and made the consumer more into the story. Even though the graphics, and sounds can make the story seem to take longer to get out on the screen it intensifies what is happening, so more complex news stories keeps the mind going, and thinking…makes the story better than the ABC world news. It’s amazing how in just eighteen years technology can make watching TV a hundred times better. Both Bolter and Grusin say that “Immediacy is supposed to make this computer interface “natural” rather than arbitrary.” (67)I fully agree with this because in the two thousand and eight you tube video clip of Obama and Oprah the picture seemed more natural rather than the nineteen ninety video clip of ABC news. ABC’s news was fuzzier and scratchy; you could also see more interaction of what was happening. Also on page 67 Its has been under line “experience of being a virtual world or remote location, the more technology in the 2008 video clip allows us to see more, interaction of locations we may not even think about, with those extra sounds and graphics are minds and bodies are more into what is really happening.
