Technology keeps changing so and as a result so do jobs. People going into the work force will be forced to move with the changing technologies. In almost any industry of media, convergence has been heard of.
For Films, in the past, they were edited by using analog now all editing is done digitally via a computer. In addition we have seen industries come from tapes to DVD to Blue-Ray in a few years. For video games there were arcades but now you cannot only play them at home. Gaming has come along way with their interactive movies too along with having improved sound and images. Game industries have allowed them on your phone so companies can by sync together.
Cable industries have come a long way. Cable and Satellite providers now offer not only channels but direct service to the internet. What is interesting to see is how media industries have come together in different ways so the customer has the most technology that the possibly can get. When is comes to print media, Kindles and iPads have taken over books. We can read our textbooks for school online. Newspapers and magazines have had to put articles on their websites, which is how most people read the “paper” these days.
Broadcasting video or audio has changed quite a lot as well. HD television has helped changed television and film into clearer pictures. Satellite radio is a new concept from 2004 that people have used. And when it comes to broadcasting television we have the new technology of TiVo and DVR systems. Along with online television like Hulu and Fancast which offer viewing from TV with limited commercials. Convergence of our technology has only started within these industries, it is just a matter of time when other industries are affected as well.
