I am yet again taken back by the unending wave of technology that's ruling the world today. I think that the idea of smaller pixel tablets is interesting as comparing to the use of few jumbo screens. Being able to break pictures up into smaller sections could allow for more versatility when it comes to the effects that will be applied to picture, like perhaps making different portions of it in different hues. I also think the idea of being able to connect the tablets to a voting system is pretty revolutionary. Being able to see your poll via telephone line at the bottom of screen is one things but being able to see your vote as compared to the amounts of others is a new and great idea.
I remember reading some greenpage articles about the pixel panels around September, they were pretty impressive pieces of technology. This article just proves that they truly are impressive and innovative pieces of technology. The ability to install and strike in such amount time is critical but also programming is another critical area. I feel like Tait has got something very spectacular here and they are using it all over.
I am sort of torn on this article. On one hand, I find this very cool and innovative. These panels are easy to set up, use, and take down, making them a great alternative to LCD screens. I'd love to see these in person since they seem to be a great artistic feat. The other half of me isn't so much against them as scared of them. This is another eerie reminder that technology is evolving fast and that it might very well replace live performances soon. Being an actor, this is obviously very concerning. Show business is already very competitive within its self and now this whole other force is being introduced and is replacing many jobs.
