Now we have an example about how new technology is integrating in our normal lives….. next 22 April the Emmy Awards are going to announce the winner of their newest category: “original entertainment programming created specifically for non-traditional viewing platforms.” This category considers entertainment programming made for computers and mobile devices. There are six nominees as follows:
-"24: Conspiracy," by News Corp.'s Fox Mobile Entertainment. A spinoff of the Fox TV show "24," created exclusively for mobile phones.
-"It's JerryTime!" by Ozone Inc. "JerryTime!" is a quirky, collage-style animated blog chronicling the misadventures of a 40-something single guy.
-Live 8 on AOL. Last July 2, simultaneous concerts were staged around the world to draw attention to global poverty. Time Warner Inc.'s AOL provided live feeds and later offered footage on demand.
-"mtvU Stand In," produced by MTV Networks' mtvU, which focuses on university life. The short-form episodes of "Stand In" on Uber, mtvU's broadband channel, feature celebrities - including such disparate luminaries as Shimon Peres and Cameron Diaz - as substitute teachers.
-"Sophie Chase," produced by CB Films Inc. This online police show starring Kate Clarke is directed by the man behind "The A-Team" and "MacGyver."
-"Stranger Adventures: Helen Beaumont," by Riddle Productions. "Stranger Adventures" is an interactive, online puzzle contest that combines video and e-mail. Each weeklong episode generates clues.
This is a clear example about the opportunities that new technology open every second, new markets arise and new millionaires are made.
