Weber Director, Management of Technology Program Clash of the Titans: Impact of Convergence and Divergence on Digital Media By William Chee-Leong Lee Submitted to the Alfred P. Sloan School of Management on May 9, 2003 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Management of Technology ABSTRACT In last decade, the world was bewildered by the dazzling array of choices and offerings of digital technology. While digital convergence has created new possibilities in digital media, it has also created great uncertainty, fragmentation and threats to traditional media. This blossoming of innovations, as I will examine in this thesis, originates not only from the conversion of analog media into the digital domain, but more from a convergence of industries which results in a clash of technologies and cultures. This thesis explores the phenomenon of digital convergence and divergence and examines their impact on digital media. The questions this thesis seeks to answer are: What exactly is digital convergence? Is digital technology a kind of unifying glue as some may claim, or is it turning out to be a catalyst for greater differentiation? What kinds of dynamics will emerge when traditional industries play in each other’s familiar turfs? And what kinds of strategies should digital media producers adopt in response? Observations seem to point towards a trend of initial chaos, greater divergence and severe technological fragmentation in the market. However, in that light, the results of this study suggest that collaboration between industry players to establish common standards, as well as the production of content to fit the locality, context and the consumption experience will be the keys to success in the world of digital convergence. 2 To the loving memory of Dr. Alexandre Chao Kwang Howe 1965 – 2003 My mentor, friend and brother. 3 Acknowledgements Finishing this thesis and the Management of Technology program would not have been possible without the love and support of my wife, Ren Sing, and my daughter, Karis. Their sacrifices for coming to Boston with me, enduring the harsh winter and being away from family and friends are appreciated from the deepest of my heart. I would like to acknowledge the hours spent with my thesis advisor, Professor Henry Birdseye Weil, for his guidance, patience, and kindness and advice, which were instrumental in providing me with the focus needed to complete this work. Appreciation goes to Walter Bender, Director of the MIT Media Lab, for graciously agreeing to be my Thesis Reader and providing his valuable insights. I would want to thank Singapore Press Holdings for sponsoring me to this wonderful program. In particular, Low Huan Ping, Henry Yu, Tay Juay How, Daniel Ong, Uthaman S. and Irene Lee. They gave me unfettered support and the encouragement to take a year off to study at MIT Sloan. Many thanks are due also to my father, mother, sister and grandma, who are so crucial in their support and love back home. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to the loving memory of Dr. Alexandre Chao Kwang Howe. Alex was my mentor, faithful friend and loving brother. My life has been blessed so much during these 20 years of friendship with him. Without his love, I will not be the person I am today. Though he passed away on April 22, 2003, Alex will always live in my heart. 4 Table of Contents

  • Broadcasting Education in the Age of New Media: Building Multimedia Products from the Academy
    Research in Higher Education Journal Volume 33 Broadcasting education in the age of new media: Building multimedia products from the academy Michael L. Baltimore Columbus State University ABSTRACT As our society continues to develop new technologies, the use of streaming technologies in higher education has lagged behind. The traditional academic landscape is dependent upon instructors to use commercial media products to deliver adjunct learning materials to the classroom. Faculty are also beginning to explore in the use of social media in classrooms for the first time. Video production may be seen in some communication departments as course requirement, but are not thought of as a means of delivering content for teaching and learning. The purpose of this study is to outline the development and use of a multimedia production facility, and the use of multiple platforms and to demonstrate it as a dynamic environment for creativity and innovation at the university. Additionally, it argues for a shift in thinking for both faculty and administration toward an innovative, creative environment supporting academic media production that can be used in conjunction with the social media movement in education. Universities can use multimedia production facilities for purposes of instruction, recruitment, retention and graduation along with the creation of television style presentations beyond the traditional classroom to build an even larger audience. The development of new technologies, for assisting faculty in the creative process, for improved learning content is discussed.

  • Digital Rhetoric: Toward an Integrated Theory
    TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION QUARTERLY, 14(3), 319–325 Copyright © 2005, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. Digital Rhetoric: Toward an Integrated Theory James P. Zappen Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute This article surveys the literature on digital rhetoric, which encompasses a wide range of issues, including novel strategies of self-expression and collaboration, the characteristics, affordances, and constraints of the new digital media, and the forma- tion of identities and communities in digital spaces. It notes the current disparate na- ture of the field and calls for an integrated theory of digital rhetoric that charts new di- rections for rhetorical studies in general and the rhetoric of science and technology in particular. Theconceptofadigitalrhetoricisatonceexcitingandtroublesome.Itisexcitingbe- causeitholdspromiseofopeningnewvistasofopportunityforrhetoricalstudiesand troublesome because it reveals the difficulties and the challenges of adapting a rhe- torical tradition more than 2,000 years old to the conditions and constraints of the new digital media. Explorations of this concept show how traditional rhetorical strategies function in digital spaces and suggest how these strategies are being reconceived and reconfiguredDo within Not these Copy spaces (Fogg; Gurak, Persuasion; Warnick; Welch). Studies of the new digital media explore their basic characteris- tics, affordances, and constraints (Fagerjord; Gurak, Cyberliteracy; Manovich), their opportunities for creating individual identities (Johnson-Eilola; Miller; Turkle), and their potential for building social communities (Arnold, Gibbs, and Wright; Blanchard; Matei and Ball-Rokeach; Quan-Haase and Wellman). Collec- tively, these studies suggest how traditional rhetoric might be extended and trans- formed into a comprehensive theory of digital rhetoric and how such a theory might contribute to the larger body of rhetorical theory and criticism and the rhetoric of sci- ence and technology in particular.

  • Digital Watermarking Based on DCT Transform
    A Survey of Digital Watermarking Technologies Lin Liu [email protected] Abstract: This report introduces the basic concepts in digital watermarking. Common watermarking technologies are reviewed. Some experiment results are provided as well. Index Terms: Digital watermarking, copyright protection 1. INTRODUCTION During the past decade, with the development of information digitalization and internet, digital media increasingly predominate over traditional analog media. However, as one of the concomitant side-effects, it is also becoming easier for some individual or group to copy and transmit digital products without the permission of the owner. The digital watermark is then introduced to solve this problem. Covering many subjects such as signal processing, communication theory and Encryption, the research in digital watermark is to provide copyright protection to digital products, and to prevent and track illegal copying and transmission of them. Watermarking is embedding information, which is able to show the ownership or track copyright intrusion, into the digital image, video or audio. Its purpose determines that the watermark should be indivisible and robust to common processing and attack. Currently the digital watermarking technologies can be divided into two categories by the embedding position——spatial domain and transform domain watermark. Spatial domain techniques developed earlier and is easier to implement, but is limited in robustness, while transform domain techniques, which embed watermark in the host’s transform domain, is more sophisticated and robust. With the development of digital watermarking, spatial techniques, due to their weakness in robustness, are generally abandoned, and frequency algorithm based on DCT or DWT becomes the research focus. Another tendency in watermarking is blind extraction, which means the host is not need when extracting the watermark; otherwise it is hard to avoid the multiple claims of ownerships.

  • The Daily Me
    1 The Daily Me It is some time in the future. Technology has greatly increased people's ability to “filter” what they want to read, see, and hear. With the aid of the Internet, you are able to design your own newspapers and magazines. You can choose your own programming, with movies, game shows, sports, shopping, and news of your choice. You mix and match. You need not come across topics and views that you have not sought out. Without any difficulty, you are able to see exactly what you want to see, no more and no less. You can easily find out what “people like you” tend to like and dis­ like. You avoid what they dislike. You take a close look at what they like. Maybe you want to focus on sports all the time, and to avoid anything dealing with business or government. It is easy to do exactly that. Maybe you choose replays of your favorite tennis matches in the early evening, live baseball from New York at night, and professional football on the weekends. If you hate sports and want to learn about the Middle East in the evening from the perspective you find most congenial, you can do that too. If you care only about the United States and want to avoid international issues entirely, you can restrict yourself to material involving the United States. So too if you care only about Paris, or London, or Chicago, or Berlin, or Cape Town, or Beijing, or your hometown. 1 CHAPTER ONE Perhaps you have no interest at all in “news.” Maybe you find “news” impossibly boring.
