[C390]Change Is Coming Music

by Jacqueline Lewislyons, Jac

I can't believe that it is already the middle of November - where did the time go?! So much has happened this month that many of us are already overwhelmed and tired out. I know that I was exhausted by the time the election came around just from excitement about the major change we were facing - the first African-American president or a female VP. This exemplifies how much our country has changed over the past 50 years. Of course, there are some challenges associated with change. Some of us don't handle change well. We are creatures of habit and when things get off-schedule, yield an unexpected result or our options are limited, some people experience feelings of sadness, loss and depression.

How do you handle change? Does the idea of something new trigger a surge of energy and excitement through you? Do you wake up each morning wondering what the day will bring your way? Living in central Ohio we have many opportunities to assess how we handle change whether it be the weather (upper 60 degrees for days then a drop to the 30's) or adapting to the loss of a favorite newscaster. Do you complain or feel moments of frustration when situations don't meet your needs or expectations? Are you able to shrug it off and turn to Plan B?

One thing is for certain - things change. Unless it is made of stone (and even that degrades over time), everything changes. Change is a reflection of growth and learning. Change allows us to replace bad with good, good with better. Most of all, change gives us an opportunity to start anew. One secret to handling change well is to be proactive rather than reactive about change. Take charge and change something. So what if yesterday was filled with mistakes, you don't have to repeat them today. Making a conscious choice to change yourself will likely yield positive effects in others. The 'ripple effect' still applies. Small changes, such as putting on a smile every morning and being the first to greet family or co-workers may make the day nicer for all. Saying a prayer before you start the car and pull out may center you enough that the slow traffic doesn't sour your mood during your commute. Saying 'Thank you' for even the smallest gesture may make someone feel validated.

This month I challenge you to deliberately change a behavior. Make it an experiment for ten days. If you like what you see, go for ten more days. Don't fear change. After all, "If life was predictable, it would cease to be life, and be without flavor" 'Eleanor Roosevelt.

Apple in recent days has attempted to stake a claim on the movie download market by striking a deal with Disney Studios to deliver movie down loads. Earlier this year Warner Brothers announced an agreement with the software firm Bit torrent to enable movie downloads to your computer. Bit torrent's software application has long been the choice of peer to peer file sharing pirates because it allows fast downloads of large files and uses very little bandwidth.

Last week Apple together with Disney studios jumped into the movie down load market and offered two key features to it's movie download service. First it uses the ipod as the device for downloading. Second, knowing that the ultimate viewing choice for movies for the public will be the television or home theatre. Apple indicates it will introduce a set top box to work with the TV thus bridging the gap between internet delivery and end user's desired viewing choice.

This puts Apple in a position to capture a middleman role and to make money on a device to ease the process between the down load and final choice of viewing medium. But Bit Torrent is already working with Warner Brothers and will probably leap frog Apple's device sooner or later by allowing direct downloads to your TV receiver, fast, high quality and immediately playable using a high speed cable line to do it. And to go with this instant down load will be the option to burn to a DVD or store the movie on the hard drive of your tivo box or similar device.

George Lucas in an interview with CNBC earlier this year and again last week stated that the movie companies and Hollywood would have to adapt sooner or later to the new digital age, of production and distribution. When asked about file sharing and bit torrent specifically Lucas stated that it would be the future of Hollywood and that Steve Jobs and others had already grasped that concept.

The major retailers of DVDs, such as Walmart and Target have communicated to the Hollywood studios that they will not sit still for downloads that would be cheaper than the DVDs they sell. Apple has been responsive and is said to be discussing an agreement on the pricing of down loads from it's itunes site.

As usual the big players are attempting to control how, where and at what price the next generation of movies will be delivered to the public. All the major players want to control the delivery process but the time for that has passed. George Lucas himself said that with web sites like Youtube, film makers can show case their talent and deliver it to the public very cheaply, they don't need a Hollywood Studio.

Using the internet as a proving ground for content creation and distribution has finally come of age now that high speed internet access is so wide spread. So get ready Hollywood change is coming like it or not.
