Global Lives

When you see a project like global lives, spanning 10 countries and involving hundreds of people and thousands of pieces of equipment, you would think that the person who came up with the idea and is coordinating would be a video major or perhaps aspiring filmmaker. However, after talking on Skype, I was rather interested to find that instead David Harris is sociology major.
What makes this so interesting for me is that it simply shows how video can be a medium for almost anything. If someone is studying history, there are very few other things that they can use their history knowledge for other than directly history related pursuits. Video however, is different. It can show a history program, the news, a documentary, a story, stock information, or anything people wish to use it for. Kind of made thing about no matter what field I may enter in the future, I can still always use video for whatever it may be.
