November
23 - Vol 2. No. 47
Up
Front Sunday Morning:
Here's
wishing all our readers in the United States a warm and pleasant
Thanksgiving holiday. May your travels be safe and the four day
weekend full of good memories.
Winter
is settling in for a three month stay and it has been cold and wet
here in Eugene. Our first snow fall of the season dusted the city
in a powdery white on Wednesday.
Life
seems to flow from one day to the next with little change. But over
time and with a bit of reflection, one realizes that nothing remains
the same. I've taken opportunity of the 40th anniversary of the
Kennedy assassination to look back at media communication then and
now in today's Discussion Section.
To
make winter more interesting, I've added a weather information link
to provide information from around the globe. You can access a weather
report for your home town, or elsewhere, by clicking on the forecast
icon above.
The
web has become an important marketing tool for new films and the
media blitz is on for the December opening of The Last Samurai
directed by
Edward Zwick. These promotional web sites are quite slick and
make effective use of multimedia. Readers may want to take a look
at the Online Exhibition related to this film. The five
navigable panoramas
are some of the best QuickTime VR scenes I have found on the Internet.
Since
1994, the Portland based DevGroup
NW has provided a forum for developers to network, share knowledge
and find out what's happening in the multimedia, web and interactive
design fields. Individuals are encouraged to attend informative
monthly meetings. You can sign up for a once monthly announcement
listserv that informs you of meeting topics and events. These events
are a great way to get together with others who share common interests.
Digital
Web Magazine is a useful online publication for those working
as web designers. It provides feature articles, tutorials, interviews,
and extensive resources. I've thoroughly enjoyed my visits to the
site. The publication is produced by Portland based web designer
Nick Finck
.
Designers
often struggle to communicate a client's message without generating
a negative response to the client's product. Sometimes they succeed
other times they don't. Recent KFC television commercials presenting
chicken as a part of a healthy diets are being removed by the company
after complaints were filed with the Federal Trade Commission. AD
Age has an informative article,"KFC
Pulls Controversial Health-Claim Chicken Ads". It offers
an analysis and includes video clips of this controversial campaign.
It provides food for thought for those of us involved in media design.
Bluetooth
is a technology that allows one to send pictures, notes, and other
information without a cable to connect to other bluetooth equipped
devices within about a 30 foot range. Recent reports have appeared
in the main stream press about individuals with bluetooth enabled
devices receiving messages seeming from out-of-the-blue, so to speak.
Some pranksters have found delight in sending messages to strangers
within their bluetooth transmission range. These messages appear
primarily on cell phones but can be transmitted to other devices
as well. Messages such as, "buy the maple bar", or "use
the fork with the right hand" might suddenly appear on the
"victims" phone without knowing how it got there. As one
prankster notes, "...that is where the fun really starts."
Now just imagine what use the advertising industry might make of
this as a point-of-sale technology. You can learn more about this
with a web search for "bluejacking".
Have
a bit of fun this morning by visiting Googlism.com.
Find out what Googlism.com can find on line about your name or a
friend's!
Enter
your name and select a category such as who, what, where, and when.
The internet regurgitates a wealth of quips - many humorous such
as,"gary is approximately 116." I feel like it at times!
MAIL
BAG: It is always good to hear from readers.
"I've
barely started reading this week's edition and already there's a
great article on 'What is a multimedia specialist?'This is really
helpful stuff for students who are trying to understand what this
field involves. Thanks to you and Ken for a Great Newsletter!!!"

DISCUSSION:Remembering
Novemeber 22, 1963 |
I
was a senior at Portland State College 40 years ago when the news
of the President
Kennedy assassination was announced in my morning geology course.
The professor canceled class as we stunned students sought out information
wherever we could find it.
There was no Internet or desk top computers to access instant information
in 1963. There was no CNN or FOX news. In fact there was no cable
television in Portland. For most of us television was limited to
three national networks broadcasting in black and white. Most television
news was shot on 16mm film, processed, and broadcast in the evening.
The Presiden'ts assassination
would change television news in the days and years that followed.
Radio provided the primary news that morning for we who huddled
around transistor radios student shared with one another. We listen
attentively, visualizing the day's events in the theater of our
imagination.Not even the Cuban missile crisis and the threat of
nuclear war had affected us as much as the radio reports out of
Dallas.
Television networks, lacking today's satellite communication technology,used
land based networks for live coverage. Live field reporting was
a technique only then being developed and the transmission of information
was sometimes crude. But it was TV that became the medium to which
people turned to watch at home, in front of store windows, or anywhere
a television set could be found.With the Kennedy assasination, television
became the choice for news and information and would remain so for
decades to come.
No country had ever been more united through a medium as was the
US by television the day of the Kennedy funeral. It was broadcast
live and for the first time millions of people collectively shared
a single common sound and visual experience as the flag draped caisson
carried the President to his final resting place in the Arlington
cemetery.
Technology changes the way we experience national events. Today
students turn to the Internet rather than TV for news. At the click
of a few keystrokes he or she can access world reaction and opinion.Just
as television replaced radio and print media, the Internet is the
new medium of communication to which people turn for instant information.
As I look back this weekend on the 40th anniversary of the Kennedy
assassination, I realize that the media technology and culture in
which I have worked has changed more quickly than I have been aware.
That change is most evident when I imagine the late President walking
into today's White House. Yes, he might find the building familiar
but upon closer examination the tools of communication may astound
him. Here he would find high definition flat screen television with
access to hundreds of cable channels, desktop computers capable
of offering two-way video conference exchanges, word processing
instead of typing, cell phones with video displays, the wonder of
the Internet, digital video cameras, film less still cameras, instant
satellite communication, DVD and CD materials, and perhaps even
music playing on a Presidential iPod.(See:Technology
Timeline: 1750-1990 )
As I look forward, I wonder what our world of media communication
will be like in another 40 years. If I'm lucky, I might write about
in November, 2043 at the advanced age of 102. Perhaps I'll be using
some type of thought to data transmission process.
Here
is to the future and the unknown world we are creating today. May
we always look back to see where we've been, as we make decisions
about the future.

GOOD
NEWS AND BAD ON THE HIGH-TECH FRONT.
About 12% of U.S. high-tech jobs have disappeared during the past
two years, but there's a faint light at the end of the tunnel, according
to a study by AeA (formerly the American Electronics Association).
While 540,000 jobs were wiped out in 2002, this year that number
should decline to about 234,000, and AeA says the downward trend
signals that the worst is over. In fact AeA president William Archey
predicts that the beleaguered sector could even begin adding jobs
by next spring." Companies have gone from being clinically
depressed to rather upbeat," said Archey during an interview,
although he cautioned against over-optimism: "There isn't going
to be a massive infusion of new jobs right away because companies
have gotten used to operating leaner and meaner." (AP/USA Today
19 Nov 2003) http://www.usatoday.com/tech/techinvestor/2003-11-19-tech-jobs-go_x.htm?csp=15
PORTAL
FOR NONPROFITS.Two years ago, multimillionaire Arthur A.
Bushkin paid $15 million to createan Internet portal called StargazerNet,
and used it to offer nonprofit organizations a free way of networking,
conducting online chats among offices, and organizing their data.
Yet today few nonprofits use StargazerNet, apparently because they
don't understand how it works. However, Bushkin remains optimistic,
noting that "it takes a certain amount of time for people's
behavior to change, to use the new technology... We honestly believe
that this is the 21st-century equivalent of the Carnegie library
online." He says that StargazerNet "is an attempt to put
a certain amount of technology in the public domain. Secondly, and
more importantly,put it in the public domain in a way the public
can use it and control it themselves." He points out: "It
took more than 20 years for the Internet to get traction."
As of today, StargazerNet is still looking for traction. (Washington
Post 9 Nov 2003)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19793-2003Nov9.html
TECHNOLOGY
USE (AND MIS-USE). The National Survey of Student Engagement
(NSEE) has found that 83% of U.S. undergraduates regularly use information
technology in their academic work -- and an even greater percentage
-- 87% -- say that their peers at least "sometimes" copy
and paste information from the Web without citing the source. George
Kuh, Indiana University professor and NSSE director, says: "Technology
could well be a double-edged sword. Unlimited access to information
may help students produce more in less time, as indicated by their
relatively high grades. But whether students are learning with authentic
understanding remains to be seen." (USA Today 9 Nov 2003) http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2003-11-09-students-it_x.htm
DODGING
THE 'DODGY-DOSSIER SYNDROME' PROBLEM. Ninety percent of
business documents are adapted from other documents, but 68% of
the people doing the adapting don't know that the revised versions
often contain metadata that identify the source documents, according
to a study by UK software firm Workshare. The phenomenon has been
dubbed "the dodgy-dossier syndrome" after the infamous
UK government report on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction
program, a significant portion of which was found to have been copied
from a 12-year-old thesis written by a PhD candidate. "There
are inherent dangers due to document metadata, which identifies
the historical changes within a document, author histories and document
origins," says Workshare in its report. "Awareness of
the term 'metadata' is low and fewer still know of its dangers."
Exacerbating the problem of document adaptation is "document
anarchy" -- which describes the lack of standard practice in
the workplace for contributing to or giving feedback on a document.
"More business users are contributing to shared documents than
ever before," says Workshare European VP Andrew Pearson, "and
companies are losing control of what happens inside the process.
(bringing) these problems to the fore." (ZDNet UK 14 Nov 2003)

UTAH
PLANS FIBER TO THE HOME BROADBAND NETWORK. Tired of waiting
for the 21st century to arrive, Salt Lake City and 17 other Utah
cities are planning to build an ultra-high-speed network of their
own, capable of transmitting data to homes and offices at speeds
100 times faster than current commercial residential offerings.
Dubbed Utopia (Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency),
the network is expected to bring high-speed access to 723,000 residents
at about $28 a month for basic broadband Internet service. Utopia
will also offer digital television and voice-over-IP telephone services.
The project has come under fire from telecom and cable companies,
who argue they shouldn't have to compete against a publicly sponsored
digital network, but city officials say reliable access to high-speed
data is so vital to their goals of improving education and boosting
economic growth that it's the modern-day equivalent of building
roads, sewers and bridges, which are often municipally owned in
the Western U.S. Data infrastructure "is not a nicety,"
says Utopia executive director Paul T. Morris, who envisions eventually
adding services such as video-on-demand and online video games to
the basic package. Morris expects to secure financial commitment
this month, with construction beginning next spring or summer. Projections
call for the Utopia system to generate enough revenue by its seventh
year to cover all expenses. (New York Times 17 Nov 2003)
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/17/technology/17utopia.html
SPAM
CLOGS BLOGS. Most weblogs are designed to allow readers
to post comments on entries, but that capability is being abused
by spammers, who leave remarks like "Sounds great!" submitted
by names like "Generic Viagra," complete with links to
questionable sites. Howard Rheingold, a futurist who touts the power
of online communities, worries that the recent invasion could derail
the revolution in public discourse just as it's gathering steam.
"It forces you to either turn off the comments and lose some
of the value of the medium, or spend your time deleting spam,"
says Rheingold. Meanwhile, some inveterate bloggers are taking matters
into their own hands. Adam Kalsey, who's run his own blog for the
past three years, has penned a "Comment Spam Manifesto,"
which warns spammers: "What you failed to understand is that
bloggers are smarter, better connected and more technologically
savvy than the average e-mail user. We control this medium that
you are now attempting to exploit. You've picked a fight with is
and it's a fight you cannot win." Kalsey tracks spammers down
and reports them to their ISPs and domain registers in an effort
to get their accounts canceled. "The blog immune system does
seem to be responding," he says, noting that he receives help
from other bloggers in his spam-slamming activities. (AP 13 Nov

WHAT'S
IN A NAME? A prank Web site aimed at ridiculing management's
penchant for rebranding old firms with "nonsense" names
such as Accenture and Avaya has backfired on its creators after
several of its spoof names were registered by real companies. The
What Brand Are You? Web site was created by advertising firm Design
Conspiracy as a way to generate publicity while poking fun at the
"uninspiring" trend toward nonsense brand names. Users
are asked to enter their names and select from a menu of core values,
such as "dynamic" or "passionate," and a main
goal, such as "global leadership" or "client focus."
The database then offers suggestions such as Aliquis, Vulgo or Accumulo.
"There are about 150 possible names. We just came up with them
one afternoon last year," says a Design Conspiracy spokesman.
"We used an online Latin dictionary to come up with some of
the names, and just added an 'i' or an 'a' to the end. Others, like
Ualeo, we don't even know how to pronounce. We were just literally
trying to think of the most stupid company names." Tell that
to businessman Amit Roy, who registered the name Winnovate, which
he found on the site. "I wanted a name that had a positive
feel that implied innovation," says Roy. Other names snapped
up by unwary users include: Amplifico, Integriti, Thinc, Winwin,
and Ovisovis. (BBC News 17 Nov 2003) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3276945.stm
CHINA
DEVELOPS EVD FORMAT AS ALTERNATIVE TO DVD.
A government-funded initiative in China has been established to
"attack the market share" of the DVD format with a Chinese
alternative called EVD ("enhanced versatile disk"), and
offer a new platform for Chinese
manufacturers to sell and build on. The EVD strategy will also have
the benefit of relieving Chinese DVD producers from paying licensing
fees to the companies that hold patents to the DVD format. (AP/Los

COMPUTERS ACTING OUT IN NEW YORK. The State University
of New York has developed a theater project called the Technology
Plays to explore how technology has reshaped humanity. The very
short theater pieces, none of which uses live actors, take place
in small booths that serve as sets. One example is the play "1
+ 1 = 0," set as a cybercafe that allows the audience members
act to observe an online romance between two people while simultaneously
listening to the voices of the lovers' spouses commiserating with
each other at the next table. "We are inventing the genre as
we go, a genre in progress, so to speak," says playwright and
novelist William Kennedy, who acknowledges that it took him along
time to become comfortable with technology. (New York Times 20 Nov2003)

writing and other areas. This seems to be a central connection to
the media production opportunities in the Seattle area.

in the Seattle Times online employment service.
