What Is Life Streaming?

Gaining popularity these days is a concept called life streaming
or lifecasting. What is life streaming, you ask? It’s another
Internet phenomenon, of course.

Life streaming is basically broadcasting events of your life over
the Internet, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Lifecasters, as
they’re called, use wearable camera and invite people into their
life. Life streaming is actually behind the whole reality TV
success. Shows like Fear Factor and Big Brtother were inspired
from life streaming over the Internet.

Contrary to what you might be thinking, it’s not a very recent
thing. The first ever life streaming website was launched in 1994
by Steve Mann. Steve had experimented with video streaming and
wireless computing in the 1980’s which inevitably lead to Wearable
Wireless Webcam. The continuous broadcast of his everyday life
grow so popular that his site was voted Cool Site of the Day in
2005. Steve’s community of lifecasters, which began in 1998, has
now grown to over over 20,000.

Today, there are plenty of dottv websites owned and operated by
lifecasters, and the technology has improved immensely. The
success of life streaming is probably in people’s fascination and
obsession about butting in their noses into other people’s lives.
Lifecasters actively respond to their viewers and actually offer
interacting capabilities on their websites. Life streaming
technology is packaged with real-time data capabilities. Most
websites have chat, comments, and email facilities built in so
that their viewers can communicate with them directly.

One of the biggest lifecasters to have hit the Internet and cause
a stir is Jennifer Rinley whose website, JenniCam, ran for seven
years, from 1996 to 2003. Starting out as a series of live photos
from a webcam installed in her dorm room, JenniCam initially
refreshed every three minutes for the latest still shot from the
cam. It later on became a live feed that was periodically turned
off when Jenni had to engage in sex. Later, the turning off during
sex practice was abandoned and viewers had 24/7 access to Jenni’s
life, whatever she was doing. JenniCam became very popular it
attracted a following both online and off. Jenni inevitably became
a celebrity of sorts and had appeared in plenty of magazines, some
films, and a bunch of TV shows. She made millions in the process,
both from charging for access to her site and for what the over
100 media outlets who’d featured her and her website paid her. The
website is defunct now as she closed it down in 2003, but JenniCam
is perhaps the one of the biggest defunct websites in history.

Many conceptual artists launched their own life streaming websites
and many are getting into business every today. Lisa Batey’s
HereAndNow.net streamed from 1999-2001. We Live in Public was a
Big Brother-like experiment launched by Josh Harris in December
1999. After DotComGuy in 2000, the social networking site
Seeing-Eye-People project combined live streaming to help the
visually impaired.

The Internet age is definitely redefining conventions and social
rules. With a world made infinitely smaller by rapid technological
advancements in technology, blogging, podcasting, life streaming,
and other social networking phenomena, the way people view
themselves and their world is inevitably changing. And many will
have their own answers to the question, “what is life streaming?”
Yet, no matter the debate on the sensitive issues of privacy and
freedom or self-expression, life streaming and other social
networking vehicles such as blogging and photo/video-sharing
platforms included, social networking is teaching people important
interpersonal and various communication skills that they won’t
learn anywhere else. And it gives people all over the world a
chance to see a glimpse of the world beyond their own borders.
These things have social implications you may not all understand
