Over the weekend I had given an interview with a news organization
in which I stated that, soon... anyone with voice-to-print software
and a scanner shall be able to scoop the newspapers and magazines
in breaking a story to millions via the internet.

			"We Have the Technology"

Just suppose....one accumulates a literacy in portable communications
technology, is internet savvey, has some ability to write and can
sell oneself.   Allow me to introduce to you the next on-line 
cottage industry professional.....

			the E-Paparazzi (electronic paparazzi)

Now.....what gadgets do I need to become one of them?

A digital camera.....so I may immediately transfer my photos to the
                     Internet.

Voice-to-print software....giving me the capability to convert a speech
                           or personal interview into print.

Scanner.....within seconds I am able to scan a speech, public appearance
            or personal interview onto the Internet.   Breaking a story
            to millions world-wide.

Portable Computer, Modem, Web Page and etc.....You get the picture.

There is the question of the Business Model and revenue streams??

Do I compete with the big NewMedia distributing my content ?   Nah!
I shall sell my "electronic art" to the highest bidder.  

Knock!  Knock!

Do you know who that might be........E-Paparazzi.....?
