Week 2: Podcast Topic and Selection- Aliecia Brissett W14

I have had a hard time thinking of which stream to follow for my podcast. Initially-as stated in my introduction post- I wanted to choose either Lexicon Valley, On the Media, or Under the Influence. But after researching through newspapers, online journals, and even Googling "current events", I realized my topic was right in the palm of my hand; literally. The sudden thought sprung on me when I was looking through my photo album and reminiscing about the holidays. I had taken many pictures of my little cousins, aged 1-9, and they ALL had tablets(I don't have one...). So I realized that I should discuss technology! So my new topic is going to be Spark, where I will discuss the technological advances that are happening among us and how they effect people.

The topics that I would be tackling-seeing that my above topic theme is very vague- are how the use of the new technologies are effecting the way we work, and the way we interact with others. I would most likely be naming the new, and current, devices that are being used and are in production to be released, and stating their function and what the company plans to offer the everyday consumer.

I plan to stay true to the original podcast, Spark, but plan to put my own individualistic flare into it as well. Spark, itself, is very interview based; not much conversation among other people other than a few interviews here and there from industry professionals. With my podcast, I would like for it to be more open for conversation so others can have their take on the topics. For my vision to become reality, I know that I must interview a variety of people from different professions and get their take on why/how they use their techno devices.

I really hope I stay on this topic(I tend to be a scatter brain) and further discuss the flourish of new techno goodies that are being made and used. And the weird thing is, I'm not much of a techy, so I will also be learning new things along way through the process of my research. :)
