Video Kiosks Becoming Increasingly Popular
The digital photography craze was spawned primarily by the increased affordability and accessibility of the technology, making digital cameras so commonplace that today, they are practically standard features on mobile phones (which is, as far as I’m concerned, pretty random).
The next step in this progression was the introduction of affordable digital video technology. Now, even the most basic digital camera (even those included on mobile phones) includes the ability to take short video clips. The ability to take a multitude of eraseable photos and shorter clips has changed the mindset of people looking to keep a record of important family moments. Now, people are much more casual in their use of photo and video devices; instead of carefully planned out poses and painstakingly long videos, people are shooting as many pictures and taking as much video as possible, and then picking and choosing what to print or record with the help of self-serve kiosks that have become pharmacy and supermarket staples.
The use of these kiosks for video production is, however, relatively new. As production software in the kiosks becomes better, consumers are able to put together DVDs, complete with music and graphical enhancements. Consumers are also able to post clips on the internet so that others can view them and even burn their own discs. Those cutting-edge enough to be able to do this on their home computers have enjoyed the advantages of digitial video for some time now, but the introduction of in-store kiosks extends this ability to practically everyone.
