This article about Hypermedia was interesting because I have just recently become more acquainted with the world of RSS. I use blogger for classes, and sometimes for personal use, twitter, flickr, facebook, myspace etc. I always have ad pages to post work and responses but did not always keep up with it. Now i find myself updating multiple times a day. It truly is amazing how many different things one can do with their personal blogs.
I was most recently amazed on the day of the 2009 Inauguration when i logged onto facebook and CNN.com offered the inauguration on a live stream and chat box with other users at the same time. Seeing as though i didn't have cable to watch it on in the first place it was perfect. I was amazed by how clear it all was. Obviously there are places where you can stream tv shows, and other live media but i was especially impressed with the clarity and zero lag time.
CNN basically had a line and once someone stepped out of line or stopped watching the stream one more person was allowed in. This eliminated heavy traffic.
It really is just fascinating to think of how fast hypermedia and technology in general is moving. To think back even just 5 years ago, many wouldn't have ever dreamed of such progress. I guess the craziest part is, there is so much more to be discovered.
I'm happy to be along for the ride.
