Although I wasn't present during the discussion forum, I took some notes as to the points that they discussed through speaking to Steph and Jamie who were running the discussion. There was apparently a broad debate on what the future of television was, so I've discussed my own points separately and presented some further research too.Points that were explored:
- The future of television and how it has been impacted by present medias.
- Where television came from and the background behind it's evolution.
- How the ideas developed and why- who's in charge of the television.
Certain aspects of the future of television in the view of many relies on the expansion of the internet and the connections it constantly evolves towards television. Television in the 21st century is of a new era completely, with alternate television packages being offered from broadband and software engineers such as Virgin and Sky, to the online streaming of live television available on a variety of
desktops. Television has been made portable, easy to access and more open to the public, with large showings of television in pubs being a regular thing, such television as football or other live streaming can be shown on any handheld device with internet streaming software. Television is evolving.
However, with the freedom of television comes many difficulties, with the television clips being able to be accessed more freely by persons of many ages, the aspect of censoring and the watershed is being abolished. How are we going to gain more control of the television in the future, and what should be allowed to be broadcast for the seeing eye. In accordance to this, this discussion forum links beautifully with Rachel and myself's as we discussed the censorship of broadcast elements and how these could be controlled.
A Quick History of Television
Based on an early invention called the 'Electric Telescope' in the late 1800's, the television was used for generations in families, work places and establishments to broadcast news, entertainment and important broadcasts. It was a complete establishment from the original radio broadcasts, and was adored by people of many ages.
Evolving of Technology
Over the recent years, television has been successfully adapted and altered to fit the needs of those involved, and with it being a popular invention in most households it has been evolving since the very production of the invention. With it having first evolved in black and white to then being colour, it then evolved into such technology as 3D television and smart tv's which allow you to stream clips directly off the internet such as Youtube, as well as allowing you to surf the web and use programmes such as Netflix for the work involved.
