NOW AND THEN OF VIDEO
Thesis
The inception of
digital video got it start in 1946 with the birth of the first computer
that filled a room (Berkshire Encyclopedia of Human-Computer
Interaction, 2004). Since the first computer, the digital video camera
has expanded into the everyday lives of millions upon millions of humans
spanning the entire earth. The average everyday person on earth is
usually video taped at least once in a day. My personal
expectations of the video camera and its useful applications have simply
touched the tip of the ice-burg, and I will tell you why… Video is the
visual element of television and movies as well as other types of media…
(Immanuel Freedman, 2004). The most used application of video in
behavioral science… (Peter W. Dowrick, 1999).

NOW
AND THEN OF VIDEO
History of Video
In
the year 1946 the world’s first computer was born which filled a room,
by the year 1990 toy’s containing microchips in them now have more
computing power than computers that once filled a whole building in the
1950’s (Berkshire Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction, 2004). The
first microchip was developed in the year 1971.
Since the introduction
of the first microchip the manufactures have been making microchips
smaller and smaller, simultaneously the world has become much smaller in
terms of communication using video as one of the main communication
tools among the human civilization for the last 60 years.
What is
Video?
Video is the visual element of television and movies along with other
types of media (Immanuel Freedman, 2004). The media that is supplied
through video supplies scientific contributions to society along with
entertainment and numerous other applications connected to the invention
of video
Uses of video: Navigation in boats and other
vehicles, robotics, biometrics, security systems, industrial inspection
systems and numerous other uses that will continue to accumulate for
future generations (Immanuel Freedman, 2004).
Psychology Uses Of Video
Analyzing
and Documenting: The most used application
of video in behavioral science is, capturing and analyzing actions and
interactions of the human population and other species that inhabit the
earth (Peter W. Dowrick, 1999). Video is also used in sleep laboratories
and several other unusual applications when it comes to studying the
behavior of humans.
Video Cameras in the Medical Field
Surgery:
Miniature video cameras are used in the operating facilities of some
surgeons. One of the fields that video is commonly used in is: “Video –
assisted thoracoscopic surgery” (Elsevier, 2003). Specially designed
instruments containing cameras and monitors are inserted through the
trocars in the process of thoracic surgery (Elsevier, 2003).
Video Cameras and Police
Now a days, police departments have cameras rolling 24 hours a day in
police stations, monitoring the activities related to police brutality
and abuse of authority (Richard D. Emery & Louise I. Gerdes, 2004). In
addition too being monitored in the station house, police are now
required in some locations to have video cameras mounted in their
vehicles recording their every movement.
The Future of Live Mobile Video
According to
the President and Chief Executive Officer of Taxi Babblermouth and
Accessories, Inc. Mr. Gabriel De La Vega claims: His “Live Mobile Video
System” will provide two additional incomes, to anyone who owns or
drives a vehicle. He also claims, simply by buying his live mobile
video system anyone living in the world can receive a residual income,
paid in American dollars.
A patent has been filed, and we the people of the civilized world
called earth, look forward into the future with great anticipation on
the financial out-come of Gabriel’s live mobile video system, claimed
to be equivalent to a social security check.
(Mr. Gabriel De La Vega Jr., 2006)
Conclusion
From the innocent beginnings of video,
to the billion dollar industry video has created with motion pictures,
to the life and death uses of video in medical operations countless
other uses of video up to the un-relinquishing future of video.
We the people
of mother earth depend on video to make our society function
economically and many other ways, now and into the future.
I honestly believe
that our very survival on earth depends on video. Over population is
eliminating earth’s natural resources and will eventually force us to
grow our food in outer space. Live mobile video cameras can be used on
large barges circling our solar system we will be using these cameras
to monitor the growth of vegetables and fruit originating from mother
earth. If we do not conquer the universe with video, the conclusion will
result in not enough room for us humans on earth this lack of space on
earth will ultimately result in wars and cannibalism.
