Video

In my life, video has been very important. My dad has hundreds of hours of video that he has taken since I was really small. He still video tapes family events, and although I may get annoyed sometimes, I know that I will appreciate it in the future, because I love watching old home movies now.

Video cameras were popular in the 90s I feel like, and then kind of lost a space, and now they are back on track. More people are getting into making movies on iMovie on MACs. They are taking videos in college and making home movies and using that instead of photographs. I learned how to edit video in high school communications classes, so I think it’s a great thing to be able to do as a communication major. Just so we have one more back up plan; one more talent. It’s a fairly easy process and actually very interesting.

I think video will gain more ground as communication technology continues to grow. Already, Skype and iChat are convenient ways to keep up with friends and family if we are not near them. Eventually, maybe there won’t be phones; just a video chat. It’s a slow process with video, but I think it will replace regular communication styles in the future.
