Emerge with Emerging Technology

As a child I have watched the technology continue to grow into bigger and better things in a shorter time span. I was born in the 80's and I have seen the type of Tv's we watch change, the phones, the computers, and the communication methods change tremendously. I was born into the era of the internet and yet there are those who did not know that life existed without the use of internet prior to their conception. I have seen the days in which cell phones did not exist to the era where house phones are becoming extinct due to the vast amount of people who have cell phones instead. In the industry that I am in which is the entertainment industry the technology developed adversely effects the industry.

Since the methods that the content is watched on has changed the industry must adapt to the change or they may get left behind.We live in an age that people want their content quickly and they don't believe in waiting long for it. Which means if you want to win their business you must have the technological abilities to satisfy their needs. I am building a company in the TV sector and the methods which viewers watch their TV has changed immensely. People not only watch TV on TV sets but now they watch it on the internet, mobile phones, and now tablets. Technology is constantly evolving and expanding into different platforms that consumers tend to buy. According to isuppli.com "Shipments of mobile broadband devices in 2011 are projected to climb to 157.9 million units, up from 100.1 million units in 2010." This is just one facet of communication technology that will effect my industry. So if businesses do not emerge with emerging technology they are sure to submerge from falling behind in the technological current.

The Christian Youtube.

GodTube.com is a website that has swept Christian media since its beginning in 2007. This site was founded by Christopher Wyatt, Jason Martell, Llyod Chartrand, and the current owners are the Salem Web Network. GodTube is just as it sounds a Christian YouTube which uses video sharing, online communities, and rating systems. This website has went through a few transitions by using the name GodTube and then switching to tangle.com and now they are two different online communities under the same umbrella. GodTube boast over 2.7 million users since 2009 and it continues to expand. Also GodTube was recently recognized as "Hottest Texas Companies" by Lead411. This is another great victory for Christian media which conversely benefits urban Christian media.
