Project: The Impact of Lifecasting on New Media and Society

My research project will explore the evolution of lifecasting as new media and how it has impacted society. Lifecasting is the live streaming broadcast of an person's life through the internet. The lifecaster records him or herself and shows the world what he or she is doing in real-time. The viewers will watch the live feed on their computers and see through the broadcaster's recording device. I will investigate how lifecasting socially impact broadcasters and viewers and the effect it has on other new media including television, radio, videos sharing, and more.
