TOPIC: ISSUE7 - "The video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than written records."
WORDS: 622 TIME: 1:27:54 DATE: 2007-2-22
Has the video camera become a more important form of documentation than written records? The speaker claims so, because the video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life. I concede that the video camera has brought much convenient to human life in modern life and it is accepted by more and more people as the same importance the written records play in the old time. Otherwise in my view, even if the video camera media is accurate and convincing record, it still has some weakness that it cannot take place of written records.
Firstly, by using the video camera form media, people can hold more information and higher quality video and audio information too in many fields. How can the video camera save the information? By storage, such as tape, hard disk, CD or flash card. In old times before 1980 when the video camera have not been widely used, nearly all the information were recorded on the paper, even words and pictures, it will be difficult to record and to transportation. Now in the recent ten years, the storage of media produced by video camera, for example flash card, has a great progress. In 1995, the storage card used in SONY video camera was 8MB, which can hold 10 less pictures or 2 minutes video. By now, SONY produces a new video camera which can record as long as 2 hours and hold more than 1000 pictures, in the same time the record of video and pictures are more quality than before. So, as more and more changes are taken place by technology, the storage of video camera will more benefit to record information, for it brings convincing and accurate record to contemporary life.
In addition, the video camera is used in many field by all background, the speed of development will be stick without video camera. First, the video camera is used to record our life, in daily life and in festivals, before the camera is widely used, a kind of documentation will be found which is used to record important information which happened during daily life or celebration, it is named diary. But now the media by written that is used to record our life was taken placed by video camera. Second, in research department, the video camera is used to record the experiment. In ChinaPandaResearchCenter, to keep watch on the habit of panda, there must be 3 cameras in one room and work together. The scientists use that records to discuss and research what should be done to save the species which are in peril of extinction. So, to keep our life valuable for memory and to research, the video camera has become a more important form of documentation than written records.
However, the video camera also do some bad effect in human life, it produces a new kind of production, which has no copyright, such as books and movies. When a new movie shows some people will take a copy by recording in the theatre, and sells that to people before the movie was formally published, which will also be downloaded from internet, this leads to a fallen of income to the movie company. Even worse, because of the video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record, more and more people choose to watch this kind of movie than go to theatre. So, if there was only written that can record information, this sense will impossible happen.
So in sum, to take more and more convincing and valuable experience the video camera has played a more important place than written records has, and it also will be widely used in more field to develop the technology and the society.
