New Technology TV

Plans for a first-ever national WiFi system were nixed when the FCC found evidence that the network could jam GPS-enabled devices.

The company that endeavored to create the first-ever nation-wide system, LightSquared, transmits on a frequency that is close to the frequency used by manufacturers of GPS devices, such as a personal navigation device or systems for aircraft control.

Presently, LightSquared is not allowed to operate the network at all. Although the FCC originally granted LightSquared the approval for building the network, permissions were denied after the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) found the signal to interfere with these devices.

The NTIA has found that the signal broadcasted by LightSquared is stronger than the corresponding signal for these personal devices. This means the signals can get crossed, and the LightSquared signal can actually draw the GPS-enabled devices to it. This would result in the GPS being unable to connect to its own network.

Holographic technology may not be as far off into the future as some have predicted. Once considered more syfy than reality based, holographic technology is now made its way into living rooms through television, laptops, phones and other mobile devices.

True 3D Holographics work on a different scale than their former 2D counterparts. When the original breakthroughs were made in Japan in 2006, it was forecast then that true 3D holographic sets were in the near future.

The Claro holographic TV set is an example of a 2D counterpart. It offers viewers an incredibly bright, crisp image that can be seen in the most brightly lit rooms, but it is 2D in nature. It works by image projection on a screen displayed on a piece of glass that is 10 mm (3/16” to 7/16”) thick. Any projector can be used. The TV also comes with Ferguson speakers (optional). Consumers get the Ferguson Hill FH001 speakers for positioning on either side of the screen.

It’s time to pop that booty model style. On this week’s episode of America’s Next Top Model the girls start out in the house with bad blood. Laura has a minor, actually a rather major freak out moment when the stuffed animal that her dead friend gave her gets accidentally mutilated. She decides the blame the event on Kyle (who dropped its ear in the pool) instead of Sophie, the one who actually did the ripping. The event blows over but Laura is still holding grudges.

The girls are given a challenge for the week: performing and taping music videos. Naturally it is the Brits vs. the States and Lisa, the winner from ANTM All Stars is there to present the challenge. She also introduces each team’s mentors who are: Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud, for the Brits, and Jessica Suttra from the Pussycat Dolls, for the Americans.

The girls go over their verses and come up with names for each other, Fiercely British and Unites Sirens of America.

The next day everyone meets at the recording studio to record their lyrics and the Brits definitely blow the Americans out of the water. They had presence and personality in the first take. Kyle, on the American team had a bit of trouble bringing sensuality to her part and Azmarie lacked genuineness.

The television has come a long way since its invention in 1926 (bet you didn’t know that huh?). Though TV didn’t really make noise until 1949-1959 where the number of TV sets went from 1 million to 50 million! That was a long time ago, and yet up to this day, television is still one of, if not the best mode of entertainment. There’s no question that TV has evolved through the years. Thanks to the amazing technological advancements, we are now at the mercy of New TV Technology.

New TV technology isn’t simply improved colors, bigger and thinner screens and all that hoopla. It’s so much more than just that. TV has grown into something unimaginable! If I told you 25 years ago that you would be wearing glasses to watch a 3D show on television, you wouldn’t have believed me. Today, that is obviously possible. In fact, new TV technology has become very advanced that there’s a new invention that allows you to watch 3D without the 3D glasses! Cool isn’t it?
