Citizens Part 3 and ten years from now:

CNN and its Stubborness:

Jay rosen, What CNN should do with Itself in Prime Time, March 31, 2010

CNN has had a downturn the first quarter of 2010 for all of its prime time television-news shows: "Anderson Cooper's 360" is losing out to re-runs from the old MSNBC's "Countdown," and yet CNN executives state they will not change or alter the way there line-up is now.  Some people would argue that the people on CNN's prime time shows are mere "hosts" and are not alligned with the majority's point of viewing audience.  They also state at NYU that audiences like hosts' to have their own opinions over "straight coverage" of hard line facts (NYU, 2010).  Another phenomenum that is occuring and will evolve ten-years from now is what NYU calls "Audience Atomization" overcome people who were once just viewrs and were tied to the centers of the powerful elite institutions of society have started to ignore the norms and use the Internet as their own atomization of the rise of social and mass media.  According to NYU, many of the viewing audience was "Tweeting" about the Academy Awards on the television (the most ever online-content); and and this is the furire of Citizens Journalism.  In ten years there will be virtual touch screen applications that float out of the media device into holograms according to NYU; and people in 50 years will probably have a chip inserted into their arms and the Internet will know every place they have ever shopped or eat at, and or browsed; in addition, credit cards will be obsolete in ten years by using our cell phones with a secret pin to purchase 3-D images of everything there is to buy and will remind us when we return to a store what we purchased last time we visited the store into our ear's only to hear (NYU, 2010).
