There’s no doubt about it.
Over the past few years, journalism has changed and partly it has been because of its continuous effort to stay on track with its “BFF.”
Technology.
So let’s face it; we all have tried to be like somebody else in our lives so there’s nothing wrong or to be ashamed of. (You are forgiven Journalism!)
Essentially what journalism has attempted throughout the course of the years is to fit in into the current society’s needs and wants. Or at least try to juggle with them.
So in a world were we find ourselves continuously dissatisfied and looking for the next “big thing”; that which increases our efficiency and makes our life easier, you might ask yourself what could be journalism’s next card?
Well, believe it or not it might be wearable technology.
It might sound odd at first, be the thing is that wearable technology is here. And is here to stay.
Wearable technology goes beyond just smart watches; it could includes other smart jewelry, Google Glass, fitness trackers and beyond.
Therefore, with the increasing popularity these items are experiencing, journalists should start focusing their effort on how to best format content to all of these different types of technology.
Because, again, let’s face it as people start using this items and as long as the trend and interest keeps on, they will become an everyday staple.
Hence, wearable technology may open the door for new platforms and ways to deliver information, forcing reporters to adjust getting the most pertinent details of a story across in the quickest way possible. One thing is for sure though; it will push journalism even further into the world of “at a glance.”
