Although Eric Rosenthal, presented fascinating ideas, he offered no thoughts on a possible solution for the problems he presented. Rosenthal spoke for nearly three hours in which he used numerous technical diagrams to demonstrate how the technology continues to fail us. There is no doubt that technology has not reached its full potential, and the constant upgrading proves difficult for archiving materials. However, the process of seamlessly integrating media and technology in our lives is not going to happen overnight. The equipment (digital cameras, televisions, cds) that Rosenthal degraded in his lecture is relatively new, and still without question a vast improvement from its predecessors. Eric Rosenthal was unclear in his argument. It was hard to decipher whether or not he was advocating new technology. No doubt a very intelligent man, Eric Rosenthal did nothing but attempt to illuminate issues that are obvious and/or irrelevant to most individuals.
