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.

Written Analysis IV



Written Analysis IV Webcam Formula
The Webcam has its secret recipe for a formula to gain its start.  Back in 1991, history was made to start the Webcam.  WiseGeek (2013) quotes, “the first Webcam was up and running at Cambridge University’s Computer Science Department” (p. 1).  Since then, the convention of Webcam was built for a drawing plan of how to place it for the technological developments of today.  Once in place, Webcam became popular to grow into an invention of drawing plans to be redevised to form new technological developments until the formula from the start showed a trail of advancements that ran to routes that was not first imagined.  From businesses to homes, government to research, and to when it’s just there whether you want it or not.  Webcam has routed a trail of a formula that works. 
Businesses use Webcam for teleconferences, security, and live-feeds for public to view from.  People from their homes are playing with Webcam for their enjoyment to play with the live chats of internet, for security, and to create their own live-feed footages for home videos.  The National Park Service (2013) has Webcams set up for internet viewing promoting, “views in and around Mammoth Hot Springs, Mount Washburn, Old Faithful, and the North Entrance" to Yellowstone Park of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho (p. 1).  Government uses Webcam for research in various areas, such as, astrological, off speed zones signs, and caves for exploration.  Sometimes Webcam is just there, and you either use it or not, because the way it’s built in the computer system today to take in live-feeds for a picture or a video. 
Webcam inventions of development have spread a technological set of paths for convention builds of reestablished formulas that route to networks of conventions from a de-established formula to redevised formulas.  Those formulas establish groups of conventions of developed formulas that extend Webcams future advancements.  Webcam is built by a secret formula that has redevised itself to be one of today’s popular advancements of telecommunications that has grown to conventions of inventions of advancements that is still growing by its formulas of redevising steps of conventional inventions.

Written Analysis III



Webcam the Hero and Celebrity
            The hero and celebrity status of the webcam is a technological power of supreme superiority of advancement that has proven to be a top trans communicational view of today.  Webcam is a current popular culture of what is wanted for that which we value and see as a role model of technology that has proven itself by hero and celebrity status. 
            In Germany at a beach tourist spot “via a beach webcam became an unlikely hero” stated Jennifer Van Grove of Social Media (2010, p.1).  A woman was using the “St Peter-Ording’s local tourism board” spotted a stranded man on ice, and then alerted attention to authorities until the stranded man was rescued (p. 1).  The power of technology of the webcam gave a view to become a hero to show the superiority of trans communication that webcam has for on-time-live viewing. 
            Webcam takes notice by a website title to an article by Tech Celebrity (2013) called Mount Everest webcam is world’s highest.  “The solar-powered webcam” was placed on Mount Everest for research at “The Kala Patthar location” set for views that gives a 360 viewpoint (p. 1).  Views are gathered to be inspected before given to Italy for evaluation.  Webcams technology for scenic views gained attention for celebrity status. 

            The hero and celebrity status of webcam has historically been proven that live views of trans communications are held to a hierarchy of value and a model of technology advancement that people keep for a value that’s needed.  I see webcam as a hero and celebrity that will continue on to the future for advancements of a positive need that can role model trans communications for the future.
