Only a few are conscious of this, the rest are unconscious victims - this is the End of Decency... The ERA of New Media...Kwezi Sontangehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08311702739196665917noreply@blogger.comBlogger111100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583398494675215165.post-43742110858993847712008-05-16T00:20:00.000-07:002008-05-16T00:38:09.946-07:00

The extent to which photography has gone is beyond limitations. The continuing expansion of photography in the presence of the technological revolution shows that it has no bounds and is quite fascinating at that. The mere fact that any photograph can be taken and copied or manipulated (to produce a chosen image) is eerie in the sense that what you are looking at does, in fact, not exist.

There are various instruments used for photography and there have been many used and developed over the past. It is all about the technological advancement and consistent changing fashions that influence the different types of instruments that exist today. Photography involves taking many things into consideration: the size of the picture, the length of the shot, the angle to be used, the desired

Photography began a long time ago. Its development dates back to the eighteenth century. It began from mixing nitric acid, silver and chalk, where it was discovered that a darkening colour appeared after contact with direct sunlight. Thus began the black and white photography that is still witnessed today. The beginning of photography was a wholly scientific process that involved patience etc.

It is interesting to look at the way in which selectivity occurs in photography. When one is trying to get the 'perfect shot' everything has to be 'perfect' and according to someone's specific ideals. It is here where preparation and planning is often undertaken to ensure that a photograph displays what the photographer had intended to photograph. However, that is looking at things in minimal

What is it about photography that makes it important to us in our lives? Quite simple really, it freezes moments in time that can be appreciated for pretty much eternity and anywhere (possible) in the world. Looking at a photograph, it allows the viewer to be able to relive a moment from history, or witness something that merely happened in the past. However, the development of photography comes

Blessings People,I'm sure you're aware that populr music refers to the most common music that is aired daily on radio and television. Quite a number of people belive it to be the 'Britney Spears' or 'Michael Jackson' type of sound, when, hoever, hip hop and neo-RnB can also be seen as popular music - in South African society we can say that House music is quite popular. This then means that

Hey There. .I've told you how the move or transformation of music has come from the tradition to the modern era of invention - which includes computer technology. In sociology this developed as the Era of Modernity and came about with the Modernisation Theory being adopted to explain development. Emile Durkheim states that a society moves from traditional culture to modern culture with a

Hey. . . If you've read my post before this you'll remember me talking about the bongo drum and its cousin, the Conga drum - - these were two of the pioner Beats from the African tradiotion.. The mystery behind them is that can put someone in an hypnotic trance. But the thing is, its not a mystery...FROM THESE CAME THE PERCUSSIONS WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE DRUM KIT.. . . .The drums became one of

Hey People,You know when music began it differed in Western culture to the African culture. I don't want to get deep and critical in analysing both cultures at once, so I'll start with Africa...I'm sure we all assume that we know that the first form of musical instrument in Africa was the drum, right? Well, that assumption is true. Infact, it dates back years before Era of Slavery. In African

The way in which to dominate the world is by manipulating the global thinking machine (i.e. the minds of the majority of people). How can there be a revolution when the revolutionists are programmed not to do so? With the ascending progress and development of the media, there is a growing depedency on communication to the masses through the media (whichever form that might be). At the same time,

Hey people (friends, colleagues and strangers)..I represent the beat. I'm sure everybody is aware that some of hte first musical instruments were sounds such as finger-snapping and foot-tapping or stomping to others. Well, some people believe the cave started it by bashing clubs on each other's skulls - who knows? finger-snapping sounds more convincing to me.. As media and technology improved,
