About Lifecasting And ‘Peep Shows’

Talk about the Web 2.0 – did you know that many people are now broadcasting their daily activities ALL the time – I saw this item on the paper yesterday about Jody Gnant, who has chosen to share all moments of her life with “friends around the world” and has not switched off her Webcam since July – even when she sleeps! Per this news item, early pioneers of “Lifecasting” included the “conceptual” artist Jennifer Ringley, who called her contribution “Jennicam”, and posted it on the net from the late 1990s to 2003.

Apparently, there are now 10,000 such “lifecasters” who display almost every aspect of their lives via cameras fixed to hats, laptops, bedroom doors, steering wheels.

A true example of user generated content – and the ultimate truth of the prediction ‘Big Brother is Watching You!’
