Project

My project topic has become more narrowed. I first started out with the interest of music but changed to online televison and movie watching. While researching for my topic, I learned about the process of streaming which is how the internet allows you to watch shows and movies for free without actually downloading them to your computer. I have found many popular websites that that allow this that I will discuss in my project. As of now, I feel I am on the right track.

Clyds, John (2009). Streaming Movies on the Internet. Accessed February 9, 2010 from http://www.sooperarticles.com/technology-articles/gadgets-gizmos-articles/streaming-movies-internet-19875.html

This article explains in great detail the process of streaming movies on the internet. Many people do not understand how websites can legally have people view full movies on the internet. Streaming is a method that allows people to view the movie without allowing them to download the movie to their computer. This makes it legal.
Streaming is very useful today and is used all over the internet. This technique allows us to watch almost everything for free on the internet that has been aired on TV. Now a days, with the dependence of the internet by so many people, this is a great thing to have.
This is a great source to use for my topic because it explains how we are able to watch TV and movies for free. I wanted to really focus on the legality of it versus the illegal ways people go about watching and downloading shows and movies onto their computers.

Fuller, John (1998-2010). How Stuff Works: "How Internet TV Works. Accessed February 9 2010 from http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Felectronics.howstuffworks.com%2Finternet-tv.htm?tab=people&uname=catwhiteford

This article explains in categories how the internet allows you to watch TV. It explains how you can watch it live, watch old recorded shows, and how internet TV has changed over the years. It explains the technology used in order for this type of system to work and almost everything else you need to know about internet TV.
This is great for my project because it gives background information on streaming.

Fancast: Watch Full TV Shows and Movies: Free Online Streaming (2010). Accessed February 2, 2010 from www.fancast.net

This is a website that doesn't explain video streaming but actually does it. Fancast is a popular website used by millions to access free TV shows and movies.
This site is a great example of what my project is based on. Sites like Fancast allow us to watch TV shows absolutely free. Without the process of streaming legally, we wouldn't be able to access these free shows. As I talk about the process of streaming, Fancast safely and quickly lets viewers watch their shows.

I plan on revising this later now that i am finally getting the hang of quicktime! I need to cut out the white at the end and try to place a background to get rid of the white areas around the pictures!

Multimedia Author

A multimedia author is someone who creates their own piece of work using some sort of technology/computer. The ideas can come with help from other people or simply on your own. It can vary any where form music to video clips to a blog. I consider us all multimedia authors because we are writing on our own on the internet and creating our own pieces of work with the help of the internet and other computer programs. As Lessig states, "Radio, however, soon faced its own competition from a new form of broadcast—television. The cycle then continued." Competition increases more and more each and everyday as the inventions of newer technology are created. What seems to have been an increase of authors (from simple pencil and paper writing to multimedia writing) caues much competition.
