Some of the most dramatic changes we have witnessed in this century has to do with the vehicles for the entertainment of humans. The pianos are passed to the gramophone, the "vaudeville" to the movies to radio to television. At the movies sound was added, to the radio images, and both the color. And no doubt we can go further.
With the laser and holography can produce three-dimensional images sharper than any photograph can provide flow in two dimensions. Modern recording techniques allow you to edit videocessettes tape on any subject, so that the client can play at any time however you want on your own TV.
Each new invention moves to the former to the extent that it goes to public art that gives you more. Cinema killed vaudeville, radio and television color to black and white. The three dimensions certainly end up with the two-dimensionality, and cassettes that could kill mass television, for the general public.
What is the general trend? What will the last term?
I once attended an exhibition of videos on TV and I came to the fore as it was bulky and expensive auxiliary equipment necessary to decode the tape, take sound to the speakers and project the image on the screen. There is no doubt that the best come on the side of the miniaturizacióny of greater complexity, which is the same process that in recent years has provided radios, cameras, computers and satellites ma s small and compact.
is possible that the decrease of Sizeand auxiliary equipment wears off. The video will become an autonomous object tape containing all the necessary mechanisms to produce the sound and image. The miniaturization will make it increasingly video manageable and light, until it can be worn almost under his arm. And it works every time also require less energy, verging almost ideal not to consume any.
A regular video produces sounds and lights, because that is precisely its purpose. But why invade the sphere of other persons outside them? The ideal video would be visible and audible to the person using it, and no one else. The videos that exist today need, of course, a number of controls: an on / off button and others to regulate the color, volume, brightness, contrast and others. The direction of change should be, naturally, a simplification of the controls. Ultimately there will be a single button ... or maybe none.
might imagine a video that was always perfectly adjusted, he began to run automatically when you look at him, which will automatically stop when you stop looking at it, that could move forward or backward quickly or slowly, jumping or repetitions, the user pleasure.
is no doubt that this is the device of our dreams; a video that may contain information about infinite matter, the world, the real fiction, which is autonomous, handy, thrifty on power consumption, fully private and largely under the control of will.
Is it just a dream? Will we one day a video like that?
The answer is a resounding yes. Not that we ever have is that we have already, to be precise: there for centuries. The ideal I've written is the printed word: the book magazine, a light object, private and manipulated at will.
Do you think that the book, unlike the video which I have described, no sound and images? Think again. It is impossible to read without hearing the words in the mind and seeing the images they produce. And with the advantage of being sound and images themselves, not invented by others.
The picture and sound offered by all other means of entertainment are "frozen" and has a level of detail that improves with advancing technology. The result is that the media increasingly require the user. Even wedges are inserted prerecorded music and laughter to provoke certain emotions in the client without effort on your part. The person who has trouble reading (and most cost you) can use this product "frozen", and remain a passive spectator.
The printed word, however, has minimal information. Everything else above that minimum has to put the reader: the intonation of the words, facial expressions, the accióny the stage must be taken from such strings black and white symbols. The book is a joint venture between writer and reader, as no other form of communication can be.
If you belong, therefore, to that Pequena fortunate minority for whom the reading is easy and enjoyable, the book, in whatever form, will be for you irreplaceable and indestructible, because it requires participation. No matter how pleasant it is the role of spectator, participation is always better. Isaac Asimov
Here ------------------------------------------ , something that everyone should read, and more that it is engaged in writing, and know what looking for a reader to read a book.
Thank you and good night.
