First off, just what is convergence?
The word originally came from the world of math and science. Its
earliest use was by a man named William Derham, who was working
at trying to measure the speed of sound by timing the flash and
the roar of a cannon. That was in the 1600’s-1700’s.
The term has been used in technology, business, science and
journalism – everything from explaining corporate strategy to
Darwin’s “The Origin of Species” (still a “hot” topic today,
what?).
What we want to approach today is convergence in the digital
media. Convergence refers to the power of digital media to
combine voice, video, data, text, and money in new applications,
devices and networks.
Television is probably the most amazing invention of mankind.
Sending pictures and sound through the air has a magical quality
that challenges the imagination.
Next in line is the computer. This cool electronics – that takes
ones and zeros and turns them into words, pictures, sounds, data
- and places them in the palm of your hand is nothing less than
amazing in itself.
You can’t leave out the telephone – which has passed from being
connected by wires to wireless voice, then audio and sounds,
then video, then internet, then .
Convergence. Convergence is taking all of these media and
combining them into one delivery system. Major companies are
gearing up for entering into this new development. Here are some
things coming up through these cool electronics melding:
* AOL is putting old TV shows on the Internet
* CBS and NBC are offering current TV shows online – and ABC,
Apple and Disney are putting shows on the new Video iPod
* Google is into offering video – Chris Rock’s new show
premieres online before it is aired over regular network channels
* MTV has bought the independent film network iFilm and launches
a 24/7 Internet TV Network [MTV Uber]
What does all this mean to you?
With the proper cool electronics coming available, you can
expect that within . say five years . your TV watching will
expand beyond network – cable – satellite, and the private video
networks of companies like TiVo and RePlay – to what one person
has called “ubiquitous content.” In other words, any show or
video you can think of will be delivered to you over the
Internet. Think 1000 channels?!
And this Internet TV will be delivered to your home TV set (HDTV
big screen) and larger. There will be gadgets and devices that
hook up your TV set directly to the Internet to deliver video
directly to your set instead of your computer.
Anyone with a camera will be able to upload video to the net.
You will see the good, the bad and the ugly for awhile – but the
cream will rise as they always say – and levels of video will
form into communities of like style, ability and value – all
through the new cool electronics that are becoming available now.
Sponsored videos will become in addition plentiful. One advertiser will
supply and sponsor programs – like the Hallmark Hall of Fame has
done since the early days of broadcasting.
Niche programs will become an important marketing tool for
small companies – like cooking shows sponsored by a
local/regional grocery store – or health shows backed by health
food products. Do I hear “infomercial?” They may become the
norm. We can only hope that the creative people in our society
will also be challenged and bring us some real product that we
can learn from and enjoy.
There will be improved search capabilities. you will be able to
search video content as well as titles. This will be done by
transcribing dialogue into text and stored in a database. Videos
will be searched and rated just like websites are now.
Set-top boxes [like the new Brightbox] will connect you from
living room to living room by video phone and video email. Now
you will have to dress up to answer your email (at least cover
up).
A user interface will become the most important feature of your
TV because there will be SO MUCH CONTENT. The interface will
make suggestions based on your mood, your astrological sign or
what other people have chosen. This is already happening in
Japan.
Video communities will form to find and present content to fit
various fields, moods, interests, and levels to suit your needs.
Your home TV (DVR, DVD, Tivo, etc.) can be watched on your
computer anywhere in the world with a broadband connection and
the cool electronics in devices like the Slingbox – which is
available now.
How about interactive shopping and education? You watch a
program and pause the program to respond to a commercial while
you think about it. Or – you are watching King Kong – you will
be able to click on the “King” and get a lesson about apes and
their history.
TV’s are being built now (in Japan) with ethernet connections.
this will speed up the connection convergence.
Of course, the commercial value of TV will not disappear.
Unfortunately, it may get fresh imbedded in the programming.
Shopping will be made easier – with the ability to see products
in real time and real size- or at least closer to real size -
and right from your home set in your living room, kitchen or
bedroom. Point and click and buy with the new cool electronics.
I’m sure there will be many farther surprises as this new industry
develops. The emergence of convergence -
Internet/TV/Communications – is expected to be the biggest new
industry since the telephone – then TV – then the computer -
then the Internet – then . who knows?

There are many of us who are dieting and trying to live a healthy lifestyle. We exercise and go out of our way to eat the number one foods we can. Most of us already know that trans-fats, white sugar and white flour are not the number one health choices, especially if we want to keep our weight down.
Unfortunately some of the very foods that we think are healthy are ones that can cause a lot of trouble for our bodies, and even make us ill. Below is a list of some surprisingly unhealthy “health foods.”
Artificial Sweeteners
Many people who are dieting, whether it is low calorie or low carb diets, will opt for beverages with artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. Admittedly sugar is certainly a troublemaker and should be avoided, but artificial sweeteners are actually worse for you and could even be dangerous to your health.
All the artificial sweeteners are bad, but one of the worst sweeteners for us is NutraSweet (Equal, aspartame). There are over 92 different health related side effects associated with aspartame consumption, including brain tumors, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders and epilepsy/seizures. There are heavier adverse reactions to NutraSweet reported to the FDA than all other foods and additives combined.
A much better alternative to chemically derived sweeteners is stevia, which comes from a plant. It has been used for centuries with no know side effects. It can be purchased in most health food stores in the United States.
Sports Drinks
Although marketers would have us believe that sports drinks are what the body needs when exercising heavily, the truth is that sports drinks are filled with sugar (sucrose, glucose, and fructose) and salt (potassium and sodium) as well as artificial flavorings and colorings. Add a little salt to Cool-Aid and you have about the same thing. You would be much better off drinking spring water or diluted freshly squeezed juices while exercising.
Most Energy and Sports Bars
Most sports and bars are also filled with things that are not the inimitable for our bodies, and are little better than candy bars. Many of them contain sugar or artificial sweeteners, chemicals, preservatives, and synthetic nutrients. Check the ingredients before you buy an energy bar. Try to find one that is made with whole foods, such as oats and flax seeds, fruits, and natural sweeteners.
Soy Products
This is one of the most surprising ones of all, after all soy has been used for countless generations in Asia. But the way we now use soy is very different than the way the Asians have traditionally used it. The ancient Asians knew that the soybean was hard to digest, so they had extensive fermenting processes that broke down most of the indigestible components, making it much healthier to eat. Examples of this would be products like soy sauce, tempeh, and miso. These were used in small amounts as condiments and flavorings, not as a meat replacement.
But the way we use soy as a meat alternative (texturized vegetable protein or TVP) can be very unhealthy, since soy contains large amounts of toxins or anti-nutrients. Some of the problems the anti-nutrients in soybeans cause are conditions of the pancreas, cancer and thyroid problems. Soybeans also can block the body’s absorption of essential minerals.
Granola (and Other Unprepared Grains)
For the last 30-40 years granola has been synonymous with heath food. But eating unprepared grains, or grains that have not been soaked, fermented or sprouted, has only come about in the last 50-100 years. People who lived before our time understood that unprepared grains could cause dietary distress.
There are anti-nutrients in grains (like there are in soybeans), such as phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors, that make them harder to digest. These antinutrients can cause serious problems like Crohn’s disease, colitis, and even mental disorders. Our failure to prepare our grains properly is one of the reasons that celactic disease is so prevalent now.
So, stay away from the granola. Oatmeal is an excellent addition to our diets, but use whole rolled oats (not instant) and soak them overnight before boiling them for breakfast. Go to our recipe blog at http://coconut-recipes.blogspot.com for a good recipe for coconut oatmeal.
Good breads to eat are those that have properly prepared grains, including whole grain sourdough and sprouted grain breads. You can usually find these in specialty grocery stores and health food stores.
If you are trying to lose weight and/or eat healthier, remember that just because a company markets a “healthy” product well or a health food store sells it, it doesn’t mean that it is really healthy for you. Do some research before you grab that sports bar, or better yet, reach for an organic apple, cherries, or some other natural (not processed) food. Your body will thank you and reward you for it.
