August 19th is World Photo Day. Photography, and video as an outgrowth of that, have come a long way since the first cameras in the 19th century. Video, even more so, has drastically changed, particularly in the last 10 years with the introduction of small digital cameras and smartphones capable of capturing high definition photos and videos.

This change in technology has caused a change in the way that we produce and consume video around the world and particularly on the Internet. What was once an industry dominated by only a few major players has now completely opened up for anyone to partake in.

The people over at COOPH on YouTube have put together this video to show us the possible future of photography (and therefore video) and highlight some very cool new technologies and concepts.

For most of human history, people lived in a world without news. The concept simply did not exist. The idea of news is really a 19th-century phenomenon, driven first by newspapers, and then by electronic media which brought us radio, then TV and now the web. Now, it seems, we are headed back to a world without news. Not because the technology is not there, but rather because, increasingly, people are no longer interested in news, at least in the way it is packaged now.

When television was invented in the 1930s, no one knew what TV news was supposed to look like. The medium had never existed before, and so, like Gutenberg half a millennium, prior, the first creators of TV news had to fall back on a medium with which they were familiar, and that was radio.


Maybe scary stories drive ratings… or maybe they don’t.
