Greetings, to you all. So, I just stumbled on bOiNGbOiNG while doing some research on blogging itself, in this case I was simply just looking for ideas as to the “look and feel” of successful personal blogs of other people to hopefully create a successful blog myself. When I googled, top visited blogs, I saw a title in the search results that fit perfectly. If you didn’t already know, “bOiNGbOiNG” came up an incredibly impressive No. 2!!! …on the “Guardian’s” website in that article titled “The world’s 50 most powerful blogs”
Naturally, I felt I should take some notes, but before I could do that, this particular blog post was the first to (more than) pique my interest, as it seemed like it was something on the razor tip of the cutting edge of a subject I know little of, but am wanting for. I read the article about the creation of this NeTV2 device, From there I immediately wanted to know more about this NeTV2; and so I eagerly dove down the rabbit hole, reading, but not truly being able to appreciate the insight but for my lack of any knowledge of this type of tech.
I eventually ended my sojourn at the landing page of the crowdfunding page for this developer; wanting to contribute, but not really knowing what I would be contributing to. Allow me now to indict myself freely as someone who has no idea what 99% of the terminology being used was; even in the comments section of this page, and that of the crowdfunding site; much less could I decipher the information given on the campaign page… thorough and detailed as it was.
I have great admiration and respect for the work all of you in the tech community do to protect our personal freedoms, and level the playing field for the individual, over the large monopolist corporations who take advantage of this “1201.” The right to creative freedom is near and dear to me as a writer and artist (non-affiliated, non-officially published, and amateur)
So the short version to my long question, and thank you if you’ve stuck with me this far, is: What does this NeTV2 do? More specifically for the end-user. If someone could give me a brief rundown; in layman’s terms; again, pardon my ignorance, however my curiosity and zeal for learning new things has overpowered the fact that this comment will clearly expose my absolute ignorance on the subject. So yes, I would love to know even a little about what exactly this device can do for someone like me? Or is it not even meant for someone like me, and instead just for developers?
I’m very curious, and if someone could elucidate me on this even a little, I’d be greatly appreciative. I want to potentially contribute. Hell, I kind of want to buy one and I don’t even know what benefit, if any, it could have for me. All I know is that it seems to be on the cutting edge of some aspect of video technology, and video tech? Well, that’s my favorite tech. From the little I gather this is force for good per the developers intentions. However, it seems it could technically be used in a manner that is NOT consistent with the intention of its developer, nor the law for that matter.
To al of you who put up with this comment. Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read this to the end, and I appreciate whoever decides to give this NOOB even a short explanation. All responses are welcome regardless.
Cheers,
Charlie “The Long Winded”
