Home video technology is something I find very important. For as long as I can remember there was some type of home video recorder close by. My sisters and I grew up dancing so our mother was constantly recording us. She also recorded every moment she could of us growing up. It is something I didn't enjoy growing up, but having videos of my childhood are priceless. Now that I am a mother I find myself recording my daughter constantly. I went and bought an HD Sony Handycam when I was pregnant so I wouldn't miss any moment and yet I use my phone to record the majority of things. I love the convenience of it. Properly making a video is something I personally know nothing about and I am sure the general public is the same way. That is the best part of small video recorders and smartphone recorders, they are not rocket science. You really don't have to know anything about making videos because of how easy they are to use. I would say that with today's technology home videos are a new literacy. Many of my friends and family are out of state so we communicate through videos posted online quite a bit. We also share big moments on social media sites like Facebook. I think it would be a good idea to have communication majors at least take a basic video class that concentrates shooting and editing videos. I feel that because of the convenience and accessibility of home videos they will become a more important medium in the communication field.
