New York City Day 14: The evolution

Me reporting the News Live at Central Park in New York

So today, I'm walking the streets of Harlem and what do I hear? I hear music and people on the corner dancing alongside the sound. My eye's then began to follow the sound where the music was coming from and what do I see? I saw a man holding one medium sized speaker that can only be utilized with an iPod touch or iPhone. I was blown away...and slightly disappointed.

I mean, we all heard the stories of how New Yorkers use to walk around with big boom boxes sitting on top of their shoulders while they glide to the music. It use to bring people together! And to see that kind of disappointed me. I wasn't disappointed in him of course, I mean he was just the victim of a system that forced him to adapt to their views of entertainment, in my mind. I mean, he literally walked around with a speaker and an iPod attached to it. Hurt my heart. But what are you going to do, you know? You can't escape technology. I'm sure that speaker has reduced a lot of shoulder problems and ear damage in the past decade.

Today was the second time we did live shots (Live shot's are us interns acting as if we're real news reporters, lol. We all came up with different scenarios and an actual cameraman 'Mr. Nelson' recorded us with the lighting and everything). I think I was too comfortable with what I did on my first live shot that I didn't deliver as well as I could have. So I want to make sure that I do a better job on the next live shot.
