History has shown that every new technology borrows from the old (the computer keyboard you type on is a throwback to the old typewriter and hasn’t changed much since.) So, it’s natural that vloggers will want to borrow from television to help shape the future of this new form of blogging. While this can lead some uninteresting and redundant uses of vlogging, it also leads to some cool innovations.
Like Max Rottersman’s Do-It-Yourself Video Blogger Plastiprompter. With a webcam, laptop and some old CD cases you can be reading your vlog posts with the style and grace of Peter Mansbridge.
I don’t know why it took a vlogger to invent this handy cheap teleprompter (it can be used for any video recording and not just over the web stuff) but I think it’s a testament to their inventiveness with technology. As for their content, they would do well to listen to this guy.
