A near futurist looking at the possibilities of societal changes generated by changing technology. What could life be like and when could it happen?
Technology has always fascinated me. When I was a little child, my parents lived across the street from a radio station tower. I used to stare at it red flashing lights at night from my bedroom window. I would frighten myself by thinking of it falling and crashing into our house surely ending the lives of my family and I. Another thought in my dreamlike trance gazing at the giant glowing towers, I would imagine my voice being broadcast across the region. A tape recorder my parents gave me for my birthday served as my first venture into broadcasting. I would make up commercials, interview guest, perform my own radio show and do secret recordings like the Candid Camera or Punk’d shows. My family sometimes didn’t think that was very funny, but of course I thought it was hilarious. I became involved in studying communications, journalism, marketing, performing arts, and broadcasting in school, earning a Bachelor of Science in Journalism.
Flash-forward a few decades…I work in Radio, have done some TV and Film. I also work periodically in acting, theater, and choreography. I’ve worked on the East and West Coast, but I’m currently enjoying the Midwest. I look at communications as an art and one that is constantly changing as new technology is created. I’m currently pursuing my Masters in Interactive Media. I look to continue my journey of enhancing the skills, which allow me to create my art with better expertise. I also believe in the healing power of laughter, which I hope to occasionally create. Altogether, I have a vision of creating not only the useful but the entertaining as well. Follow me if you will on my journey into the futura bazaar.
