Journalism in Kuwait has been suspended

People who aren't Journalist, using camera in public places in the country of Kuwait has been banned. Even freedom or the ability to capture a moment is now being stopped by this Islamic country, technology has now having to be tarished. In this day and age the ability to make newspaper for news has stopped for all SLR cameras for the public and only for certified journalist of Kuwait News team.


The Kuwait Times reports: "What most Kuwaiti photographers have come to wonder is how such a decision could be reached by authorities, especially considering digital cameras and cell phone cameras have the same abilities." Capturing a moment is very important for everyone but is it they right to slow down  technology. The country doesn't want to be viewed by the world in a different way, like the same way BBC has been banned from some African countries.

Hallunciation

The hallucination of cyberspace into reality.

Cyberspace is the second world through a screen and is the barrier from the meat life and the virtual one. Many games and companies have made money from people living in the cyber world rather than people paying attention to the real world. 

 I am a person who is against gaming that require time and stability and I never playing it if I am not able to move, like the Wii games are through motion sensor and the new Xbox Sensor that don’t even need a remote. But all virtual reality games like second life (an internet version of Sims) and World of Warcraft (board games was Dungeons & Dragons I think.) Call of Duty has got people addicted and takes gaming to another level.

Some barcodes have produces projections on a screen, when scanned through webcam, linking to another image or link. Similar idea is the Blackberry barcode, when scanned gets a new contact. This is like Star Trek and the Holodeck with the projected images which would be Teleommunication.

Layar is a mapping program on some smart phones that acts like a visual GPS no matter what building you are in, you can see the full make of the surrounding streets. Movies such as Blade Runner and The Matrix where made with the possibility of this, to give some idea to the future, now it’s here it’s possible. Inception is a movie that pulls the barrier for gaming into dreaming getting deep into someone self conscience planting an idea. The world will be full of imaginative people but it still doesn’t make it real. Things that are more legal and different from the other illegal.

The Digital Economy Bill was pushed this month into parliament to do with online infringement of copyright. If this comes into act free downloading or sharing of information will be enforced more illegally. So, websites like Pirate Bay, the site owner got charged in Sweden when it’s the users that are sharing the information and uploading the files. That means a lot of people can get charged even though everyone does it, supposedly (I wouldn’t know.) So, even through the screen we can charged in the real world, it is not a hallucination any more.

Cellular phones are making internet mobile

Social network have become more accessible as the technology of mobile phones evolve. Internet social networks have applications, which can be easily clicked into for fast information. This makes life easier and faster as you can get text message to tell when you have a new notification.

The problem some people find with online Facebook is that their main priority is not communicating, but games. My sister has an iPhone and a Blackberry, and both of these phones application for Facebook makes her run home to get on the laptop to check on her Ratatouille on Cafe World.  She is addicted to it more so than the communicating with friends (I guess that why twitter is there). Twitter has the same set up as the phone and visually on the laptop.

 Facebook users’ app on the phone has made things more direct and quicker. If I was using a laptop I would be more addicted it, on chat, looking through pictures and videos, looking through peoples wall post, changing my name etc. It just a quick look, an easy reply, and log out. It isn’t really about playing about with the phone. Make a phone call, and make sure you have internet on your mobile, otherwise you are pissed! The evolution of 3G and smartphones some application are set to some phones like Androids, htc, iPhones and Blacberry and some Nokias.

When technology goes bad? Citizen Journalism

When public citizens take the law into their own hands and become the journalist tthey bring the story into the media's 'eye' (which is the case for most stories.) Through to technology it is a valuable thing that every human being has a text or an email to comply over something that someone did or what they saw. To be able to share it with other people and share the news within each other, hopeful to make on televison.
The recent story about the 'catlady' which was filmed on CCTV from someones house, justice has been served to that poor cat. This was all circuluated because of YouTube that caught the British audience, this got unto the main news channels.


The Protest in Burma was enclosed to the world or  and even the peoples voices could not have been heard until it spiraled out of control, hitting all news stations. Also the live tsumani or earthquakes where no one can reach, and live blogging about elections or protest is available.
  Tv reporters, American journalist are different from real journalist to my view, because they are not even allowed to do what they wish by Rupert Murdoch. The real way to get real stories is from real people that don't have fear or a boss to look out for. This video displays the way that the news has stopped and halted people from even allowed to make a point or display their opinions.

There are a lot of other websites like the Twitter which has become fast and more direct news journalist, or just informing people like the guy who tweeted his heartattack.

The camera makes everyone a tourist in this reality.
