videography theory

Videography Labs has compiled data that analyzed population and display technology from 1947 - 2007 according to it's founding author and architect, Bob Kiger:

"Based on projected population increases and historical growth of video displays (originally analog now replaced by digital displays) videography doubles every three years. The cost of obtaining information using videography halves every three years."

The implications of such growth are expressed today with the massive storage requirements needed by every vidiot to digitize the record of their life and times. And the data growth issue is going to go nuclear in the next decade.

At Videography Labs we predict the doubling trend will continue well into the 21st Century, by which time most knowledge will be available to the world's children via videography, as portrayed in this Power Point presentation, product of a group effort by high school teachers at Arapahoe HS. in Littleton, Colorado.

In addition to dramatic population increases we would like to highlight shifts in population demography according to Dr. Ron Wimberley, Distinguished Professor of Sociology at NC State University, who announced that May 23, 2007, marks a “mayday” call for all concerned citizens of the world. “So far, cities are getting whatever resource needs that can be had from rural areas,” he said. “But given global rural impoverishment, the rural-urban question for the future is not just what rural people and places can do for the world’s new urban majority. Rather, what can the urban majority do for poor rural people and the resources upon which cities depend for existence? The sustainable future of the new urban world may well depend upon the answer.”
