TO PARAPHRASE TOM CRUISE IN TOP
GUN.WE FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED.ÂÂ
EVERYTHING WE HAVE TRIED TO DO WITH SITE DEVELOPMENT AND STORY TELLING
AND COVERAGE ON THE WEB HAS REQUIRED MORE SPEED. MORE BAND WIDTH... A WIDER
PIPE THAN EXISTED.
2.
REMEMBER 14.4? AS RECENTLY AS 1997 THAT WAS THE DEFAULT FOR
AOL. AOL! I KNOW THAT BECAUSE WE HAD TO DUMB DOWN ABCNEWS.COM SO THAT AOL
COULD USE IT.WHEN ABCNEWS.COM WAS RUNNING AT A BREATH-TAKING 28.8.
3.
AND NOW. 250 OR MORE IS GETTING TO
BE THE NORM. LATEST STUDY BY PEW MEDIA
AS REPORTED IN USA TODAY AS RECENTLY AS THIS TIME LAST MONTH SHOWS BROADBAND-AS
WE KNOW IT NOW, DSL AND CABLE MODEM-ALREADY IN 24 MILLION HOMES.
4.
AND ALL THAT BANDWIDTH IS LETTING
US REPORT BETTER... TELL STORIES BETTER. CREATE CONVERGENCE BETTER. LOOK AT WHAT GOOD MORNING AMERICA DID A YEAR
AGO.
5.
[[PLAY VHS]]
6.
OTHER SYSTEMS TO LOOK AT THAT
ALLOW USER CAMERA CONTROL. LIVEWAVE [WWW.LIVEWAVE.COM]
AND ISIGHT CAMERA SYSTEMS ON ACCUWEATHER.
7.
BUT THAT IS BROADBAND AS WE DEFINE
IT NOW. THINK ABOUT A UNIVERSE FOR THE
INTERNET THAT IS LIMITLESS. IT IS THAT
END OF THE SPECTRUM-INTERNET2 AND SUPRER NET-WHERE THE FUTURE IS AND WHERE USC
IS EXPERIMENTING.
      LOOK AT THIS.ÂÂ
8.
[[PLAY USC/IMSC CD ROM]
9.
NOT TALKING KILOBYTES HERE.
TALKING MEGABYTES OF DATA THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE.
10. AND WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH THIS.ÂÂ
HAPTIC. IMMERSIVE SOUND AND PICTURE . CONFERENCING AND HOLDING A MEETING
SUCH AS THIS ONE.WHERE NONE OF US IS HERE.
FOR MORE
AND MORE DETAIL.YOU MIGHT GO TO WWW.NEWSLAB.COM
AND FIND THE SERIES DEBORAH WAS KIND ENOUGH TO LET ME WRITE FOR HER SITE. SEE
THE 4TH IN THE SERIES AND TRY OUT SOME OF THE LIVE LINKS.
THOSE ARE SOME OF THE TOOLS THAT
ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER AS THAT NEED FOR SPEED GETS SATISFIED AND MORE SO.
AT USC. THE ANNENBERG SCHOOL IS
BEGINNING TO WORK AT THE FRINGES WHERE WE ALL SHOULD BE.
AND SUSANNAH GARDENER WILL PICK IT
UP FROM HERE.
