WRITTEN
ANALYSIS V WEBCAM AS ENTERTAINMENT
The Webcam is a current popular culture artifact for a
popular entertainment that some enjoy today.
Webcam comes and goes with the new Webcam formulas, conventions, and
inventions that make it a popular culture artifact that keeps up with the
technological advances as it grows.
There is a wide market of Webcam types that’s for a personal, business,
governmental, research, and entertainment want and need that has placed Webcams
technology from its first discovery in 1991 to its market of today for a more
global standing among its viewable device of trans communication that over a
million users enjoy today. WiseGeek
states in an article called What is a
Webcam? that, “The webcam basically works by capturing a series of digital
images that are transferred by the computer to a server and then displayed to
the hosting page” (p. 1).
Whether considered as a current popular culture artifact
for its popularity for rituals and stereotypes, as a hero and cult of the
celebrity, or for its formula; the Webcam has made itself to be a current popular
culture of today for societies wants and needs for a have to see what is out
there experience. One of Webcam’s most
interesting features to me is the entertainment of views that Webcam gives for
watching places of National Parks and research sites that the government has
placed globally for viewers to enjoy off the internet. Such as, “the Glacier National Park Web Cams,
West Glacier Montana” showing views from the “Apgar lookout” from the Belton
Chalet website www.beltonchalet.com/glacier_national_park_web_cams.php
(2008, p. 1), and the scenes from the lake views “Thunder Bay National Marine
Sanctuary” in “Alpena, MI” from the NOAA website www.glerl.noaa.gov/metdata/apn/
(2013, December 21, p. 1). Webcam brings
the fun of a popular culture experience to view different places of National
Parks and research studies that are interesting. Webcam is a current popular culture that
grows with an interest to explore the uses it has for a positive
experience.
After all my analysis’ have been considered, I believe
that Webcam is a useful trans communicational tool that is used for a positive
effect when it’s put to the areas that are of a positive technology for
societies advancement that gives a social impact that will help out in all
areas involved for the future as Webcam advances globally.
