I know this doesn’t perfectly relate with sports media on the Internet, but it does go through the Internet in a way. One of my favorite newer technologies is the SlingBox. The SlingBox is a small cable-like box you connect to your home cable box or satellite dish, and it transmits the signal to your laptop, no matter how far away you are.
As a Chicago sports fan this has been a valuable purchase for me living in Missouri. It is hooked up to my home box in Chicago and I’m able to watch almost all of the games I would as if I were home. The greatest thing about this, is that is shows how much you can watch or cover any team no matter where you live. I can live anywhere, watch Chicago sports, read Chicago newspapers and listen to Chicago newspapers.
These kinds of technological advancements, in my mind, demonstrate how bloggers can be effective. Other then being in the locker room, they can get all the information that people living in the city can.
