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.
