We watched this video in class last week. I enjoyed it but I do not know how realistic it is. With more and more magazines coming out of print, as I believe Taylor had said at one point, it does not seem to be a cost effective investment. The idea is rather cool though, and there is no doubt we have the technology to create this but at what cost? To make the screens I am sure it will cost more per screen that what the magazines will bring in sales. There is also the question of if these screens can break down once they are thrown out… or maybe be recycled.
Taking this a step farther than I think it was meant to be, with all the e-books and devices like the Kindle (Amazon) and Nook (soon to come out from Barns and Nobel) what if these futuristic magazines were updated view wifi when new issues came out? Making it last longer to cut back on rescores used to make the screens and so forth.

Just a thought.
I like what I see it’s a very interesting video..
What I like about is that I saw how to shoot a runner like that, how to use the light to get a different look.
If will be pretty tight if the mags move like that but how expensive will it be and where to dispose of them etc.
