Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

Yet again, we have a less expensive way to broadcast live to the entire world.

Recently, GoPro (makers of those neat little action cams) announced that if you wince just right and combine GoPro with LiveStream with a smartphone with the Internet with some imagination…you can show the world what your GoPro camera sees L I V E, a.k.a., real time.

All this costs less than $500. I remember as a kid, here we go again with some old guy writing about the way things used to be and how far we have come, how it was a big deal for a television network to show us video live from Europe using those new-fangled communications relay satellites. No one, not even the television network, could afford to do that for more than a few minutes.

And here we are today with almost anybody able to do this. The question is:

Now what happens?

Who knows?
