Emerging Technology Tetrad

The digital camera can store images digitally in several different ways. Most digital cameras function in much the same way as a traditional camera that uses film to record images, except that in place of the film, images are captured and preserved in the camera’s digital memory, which may be built-in or on a removable memory card/stick.

The flip camera is an improvement over other digital cameras. It provides quality pictures in a HD format; the sound quality is better and is very compact in size. This camera is very user friendly and has features/functions that is are simple to use. There is only one button to punch to begin recording and it has a transflective screen. The flip camera replaces the need to have USB cables, camera docks, video tapes, and memory cards. Also, there is no need to turn a wheel to focus the picture, nor is there a need to install additional software for video editing software. This camera has built in video editing software and image stabilization. The flip camera reminds me of those old bulky camcorders, Polaroid instant pictures, and having to have a variety of additional accessosries. The flip camera could be replaced with a variety of technology. Some examples of those technologies are a holographic camera, one that is wi-fi, and the Looxcie. The Looxcie looks where you look and sees what you see. It attaches to your head and allows you to record video with the natural turn of your own head. Looking similar to an oversized bluetooth head set, the Looxcie, shoots in HVGA quality.
