take this digital camera. "well, it is cheaper, it is faster, it is lighter, it is quicker, " and he says, "but it is not as good." "yes, but it is cheaper, it is faster, it is quicker." tavis: [laughs] >> and i kept asking how much longer, so what that means is when you go to the movies now, you will not see a photochemicals projection, and some people will say, "that is great. there will be no scratches." it is digitally perfect, but there are some people who will say, "but it is not as rich." are you getting an inferior project? and with distribution, we are seeing different ways of storytelling. you can still in it. on demand, on a computer, people watching movies on their ipad or their phone, everything, so how is that changing? tavis: you mentioned earlier, and, obviously, you are right about this, it is a transition that the industry is undergoing, but to your earlier point, there is a debate about this. you talked about some great directors, some of the names which have already come up in the conversat

but if you're in fact so big and intent on digit -- digitalizing i can't say that word -- digitalizing the political ads, then why -- wouldn't you digitize all media buys? >> it's not in the statute it's not in our rules. it's not something that's been raised. it's not something that we're looking at. the question is that the commission is considering. again we have a record before us. there have been a number of legitimate issues raised and the staff is looking at all of those. but the general question is once there are disclosure obligations, should they move from paper to digital as across the board we're moving from paper to digital? >> i understand what you're saying, it still doesn't -- doesn't compute to me. do you have -- have you all done a cost benefit analysis on this -- on determining how much this would cost? >> the record and response to our notice contains a good deal

digital books have basically been every book in the past 40 years is in digital form for a typesetter. and then it becomes undigital once it's on paper. but almost all of the books you've read in your life were phototypeset from a digital representation of the book. so that part isn't new. and the bits, what it takes to make a letter and then the number of bits and words and so on is very small. a novel is about eight million, maybe ten million bits. and when you click a photograph on your new high-resolution camera, you're taking about eight million bits. so you say, wow, what a difference it takes me four hours to read the ones in text form, but i can glance at those. so the ratio of bits is a very fundamental issue, because we can store all the books. and then i wanted to make one last genre mark about e-books. there is no question that the form once they're all represented digitally should be at least distributed electronically because there's no wait, and there's no inventory, and they travel at the speed of light. and what's going to be the thing that tilts this is the fact that

that all had to be digitized too. it's this analog to digital kind of transfer. and it was decades and decades. so it was covering all sorts of, you know, local milwaukee history. so it was complicated to work with, but once it was processed and digitized and logged, i have to say in terms of the power and the immediacy of that kind of primary source, there's nothing that can really top it. >> so you have the original sources then. you digitized those. what happens to that original old news film, that 16-millimeter film? >> those are all archived at the university. >> at the university of wisconsin. >> yes. reels and reels and reels of it. >> tommy, i'll ask you about the original source material that you have in the project. where do you hope that ultimately that will reside? >> a lot of physical stuff -- we're on hold. we actually partner with museums and others so that they hold the physical our if i facts. we do this frankly for a cost reason. to actually archive, photographs, documents, artifacts and to try to keep it in perpetuity is a very expensive proces

digital books have been -- every book in the last 40 years is in digital form for a typesetter. then it becomes non digital once it is on paper but almost all the books you have read in your life were photo typesetting from a digital representations of a book. and the bits that it takes to make a letter and then the number of bits and words and so on is very small. a novel is about eight million or maybe ten million bits. when you click a photograph on your new high resolution camera, you are taking a about -- about eight million bits. you say what difference it takes, hours to read the ones in text form but i can glance at those so the ratio of bids is a very fundamental issue because we can store all the books and then i want to make one last general remark about e-books. there is no question that the form, once they are all represented digitally, should be at least distributed electronically because there's no wage or inventory and they travel at the speed of light. and what is going to be the thing that tilts this is the fact that there are 1 billion new readers headed our w

licenses are digital. and so it should be really an easy thing to say anything that's paper let's move it to digital. let's allow companies that have obligations to not file anything in paper and move to digital. it should not be a time consuming difficult process. >> commissioner mcdowell, let me have your thoughts on this. obviously i can tell you're not in favor of it based on this "the washington post" article. i'm still perplexed as to why -- why this is such a priority. >> good question. first two key points to emphasis as proposed by the fcc the word immediately implies a realtime online posting and also propriortary information something i didn't get a chance to talk about in my opening remarks. broadcasters came to us in 2007 when the fcc first moved to have most of the public inspection file posted online. the chairman is right in most cases that is much more cost effective and easier for everybody and is it easier accessible to members of the public can look to see what kind of programming of lo

are not specialists in this field that only do digitizing of this. we could have them do the indexing, but we would have to redo it. we can turn this over to a third party and ask them to digitize them. in terms of handing them over to a third party to do the research in order to respond to somebody coming in and asking for a records requests, we would have to look into that. my initial reaction is it will take longer than for our own staff to do the research. as part of the permit tracking system, one of the things that everybody wanted to do was to push a button and get all the information, and be able to provide it to the public or anyone that is authorized to get the information. commissioner murphy: five years down the road, hopefully we have this thing complete. what then? somebody applies for a 3-r report, can they get it online, within 24 hours, or is it still going to take a week and a half? these are the question we need to answer for. >> maureen murphy. there are a lot of records that are not digitize. we do permit tracking paper. we have

they will make their money now through digital subscriptions, digital advertising. as we know, digital subscriptions make a fraction of what they make for print newspapers. it is a tough road ahead. think about new -- newsweek years ago, it was an iconic magazine. >> why is this happening? >> we have ad revenues that are declining, people consuming their unused digitally. they're not reading a magazine like they did before. it is somethinthat is affecting the broader industry as well. >> other weekly print magazines are thriving. was newsweek just not good enough anymore? >> i would not say they are thriving. you have to look at the background of "time. " it has so many other magazines to support it. ms. they did not have the backing of a time -- newsweek did not have the backing of a time warner. >> what you think the lesson is for the rest of the print industry? >> they have to be prepared that all lot of consumption of media is going digital. if it can happen to "newsweek," it can happen to anybody. >> the women look at our news on our smart phones, there is not

you digitized those. what happened to the old news film and the 16-millimeter archive. >> those are all archived at the university. >> at the university of wisconsin. >> yes. reels and reels and reels of it. >> tommy, i'll ask you about the original source material that you have in the project. where do you hope that ultimately that will reside? >> a lot of physical stuff -- we're on hold. we actually partner with museums and others so that we hold the physical artifacts and we do this, frankly from a cost reason. to actually archive, photographs, documents, artifacts and to try to keep it in perpetuity is a very expensive process. for us to digitize and deal with less expensive file is easier to sustain. when i look at the operating costs of our operation versus a museum that has all these artifacts we're like 0.1 and we have less resources than the internet. >> what are the challenges ahead, both in the project and in the area of preserving digital records? >> for me, i think the challenge, again, is to

as i said, and the volume of records to be digitized is quite large. we have 16 millimeter microfilm. i have examples of what they are. 1200 rolls of 16 millimeter microfilm, which is this. they have job cards, certificates of final completion permits, and miscellaneous documents, many of which go back to the 1930's. it is estimated there are 2500 frames per roll, for a total of 3 million frames. in addition, each row is estimated to have 800 records to index for a total of 960,000 records. we also have the 35 millimeter microfilm. these plans go back to 1940. each role has approximately 500 frames parole, for a total of 1,000,750 frames. each role has approximately 50 records to index, for a total of 175,000 records. we also have approximately 250 boxes of paper documents which date back to 1906. as you can imagine, because these documents are old, as paper was used prior to 1940, those are in questionable shape, and will be needed to be treated with extra caution. commissioner murphy: do you coordinate with the water department at all? commissioner w

the availability of digital technology, digital access and the explosion of laptop computers, mobile devices and tablet computers in american life has really enabled this change. these devices, along with, at the same time, a record number of tvs in homes, have provided more screens. our latest state of the media u.s. digital consumer report provides a comprehensive overview of these trends. my testimony today is based on the findings in that report and the report has been provided to the committee. today more than 274 million americans have internet access through their computers which has doubled since 2000. in october of 2011, nearly 166 million americans watched video online. and more than 117 million americans accessed the internet through a mobile device. nearly half of all the mobile devices used in the u.s. today are smartphones which makes it possible to access the video. broadly speaking, each month, the average american sends 146 hours and 45 minutes watching tv, 4 hours and 31 minutes watching internet videos on a pc and 4 hours and 20 minutes watching video on a mobile d

>> major funding for "digital nation," brought to you by the verizon foundation. empowering educators, parents and students with innovative tools and resources to navigate in a broadband world. to learn more, visit verizonfoundation.org. >> frontline is made possible by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. and by the corporation for public broadcasting. major funding is provided by the john d. and catherine t. macarthur foundation. committed to building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world. and by reva and david logan. committed to investigative journalism as the guardian of the public interest. additional funding is provided by the park foundation. dedicated to heightening public awareness of critical issues. >> dretzin: so, it really hit me one night not that long ago. i was in the kitchen and i was cooking dinner, chopping vegetables. and my husband was in the next room on his laptop, and across the table from my husband was my oldest son, who was also on a laptop, doing his homework. wash your hands. did you wash your hands?

to see is how this mature print/digital hybrid business shakes out development know how the digital i numbers will top out, 30%, 50%, high center does it depend on which category? is there a difference for genre fictions a opposed to literary nonfiction? i can say yes bought what readers want to read on their devices may be different than what they want to read in print. so i think the key word is hybrid, and i think we'll be hearing more how publishers look to whether they should publish a book in ebook first, should they bring out in hard cover, and then bring out the paperback a few months or a year from now? so perhaps there will be even more experimentation in terms of timing and format than right now. >> host: sarah weinman, when it cams to amazon, does amazon change the publishing world in any way? >> guest: absolutely. for one thing, here is this huge retailer with an amazing ability to market directly to its customer. they always keep the customer in mind first. whenever there's a problem. a kindle device breaks or there's a problem with an ebook, or something didn't get sh

they are digitizing. and in fact -- at enough to see an article in atlantic, but i hardly recommend you read it. this is about the 140 can't use tracking everything you do on the web. 104 issues today. and of course we added to google. you probably saw the new "time" magazine feature article a few years ago where targeting retail stores afire these companies than they know, for example when a woman is pregnant while before her family knows she's pregnant. that's really giving you a capture of digitizing human beings, but not in the help of medical space. but i thought this cartoon -- this is how you protect yourself from being -- from google. at about the same as, but it has some interesting things like playing a sick but they cannot hear what you are typing. they have god kind produced to prevent dna of the cage, you know, unplug computer. all these precautions are being digitized. you can't be on the web. you can do everything. in fact, the article from the atlantic you can do everything possible and st

how present our digital books at the fair this year? also, how much of a whole does digital technology have on the german market, would you say -- how much of a hold does digital technology have on the german market? >> the fare is like the biggest book shut you have ever been into, but when you look closely, you see that among these books and also the publishers are displaying their wares, everything is also geared to digital, to reading from the screen. in the u.s., the proportion of books that are now sold digitally is 20%. in germany, that figure is only 2%. it has doubled in germany over the past few years, but it still very small. this is to do with the fact that in germany, there is a regulation regulated by the government called fixed price for books. this means that booksellers and publishers have agreed amongst themselves that they can sell books for a good price, so there is money to be made for real books, but they are very aware of the trend for digital books as well. >> definitely a rise in digital use. what about the digi

yep. >> dretzin: at home in brooklyn, i have three digital natives of my own. watching my kids with the the computer is my younger children's favorite toy, and my oldest son uses it for school. >> salut. >> salut. >> comment allez-vous? >> comment allez-vous? >> dretzin: although we wonder about the long-term effects of all this technology, it's also becoming clear to us that our kids' education needs to have different priorities than ours did. >> kids are going to need to be fluent in technology, they're going to need to be excellent at communication, they're going to need to be problem solvers. that's just the way the world is now. two lines, two lines. >> dretzin: jason levy is the principal of a middle school in new york's south bronx. >> to me, there should never be a question as to whether or not students should have access to technology. technology is like oxygen, you know, and no one would ever have an argument that we should take away they oxygen from the kids. >> dretzin: four years ago, the school was on the verge of collapse. >> kids were not being

i believe every industry is experiencing a digital revolution. >> reporter: japan's digital content industry is the second largest in the world after the united states. it's worth more than $150 billion annually and includes everything from animation and gaming to software development and multimedia. the best part of this expo is the number of prototypes you can sample. the very latest ideas and devices that haven't even hit the market. can't read sheet music? no problem. researchers at tokyo metropolitan university created something that does it for you. users write notes then scan them with this device. a microcamera turns what it sees into data and inputs that data into an algorithm. the digitized sheet music is played back in realtime. >> translator: i want people to have fun and experience something new when they add digital technology to an analog format. >> reporter: researchers at the university of tokyo focus their efforts on helping people control their weight and their cravings. they created these goggles, which change the size of your food according to its nutritional value. take

revolution, digital transformation. on the other hand, that transformation has allowed other industries to rise up and they have different interests. amazon, apple, microsoft, google are important companies, big companies, friends and enemies to publishers because we have business relationships with all of them but on the other hand they extract a toll for getting our content material to the reading public and therefore i think there are differences of the opinion that occasionally arise as you might have heard. one of them, i am going to talk about two areas where we have current issues of great significance. one is fair use in the academic environment. some of you know three of our member publishers, when georgia state moved from printed course packs as materials for higher education courses to e reserves they made another change, stopped paying a penny for anything put up on the reserves no longer how long it was an it is since 2006 not a penny has been paid and because the georgia state was in the view of publishers

but the director was more on the digit digital.said look what we're gaining, and he was like, this is what we're losing. that's kind of why we called it side by side. traditional film making and digital, you know, we started with -- we had -- started with digital sound, digital editing. >> nobody talked about digital sound. digital sound nobody has a problem with. >> not really. but when it came to the camera that was the last piece. digital camera. when it started to enter into the hollywood level, sim naing to fecinemaing to fehrs, they s use this film. and since we started the documentary, late summer of 2010, thousand things have changed. but the idea of what we're losing is events. >> jimmy: i say out with it. >> out with film. >> jimmy: you know why? you see people and everybody got a digital camera now. every once in a while, if ir'taking a picture, they hand you one of those wind-up cameras and what the hell is this? what happened with your life that you're still using that? >> then what happens, they go and get that pictur

sorry but teenage riot is really digital hardcore you more listen then to digital hardcore so is that is this is a war on i mean if you've been called into the war is this really is your music ever been more relevant or more essential yeah you know i think this is really about the artists taking the power back you know and i think. yeah we're facing an industry which is really hostile towards us and also the freedom of speech thing you know like i mean we've seen it with when the iraq war started you know we wait dixie chicks were bullied you know by radio stations like the the record industry and i'm like you if you not allowed anymore to to write a song about you know how you feel about certain things like music is also becoming so boring to me the most exciting music was created for example in the time you mention you know and of the sixteen so you know i think the music industry's stood draws from that a lot you know i guess specially in the u.k. it's almost like they're constantly looking back to that time right now so and that i think the same with punk rock you know and now the

digital books have been priced very high. can you tell me how that's going to back. >> well, during a certain time several years ago, feisty fighters for freedom. >> he said. i didn't. so basically we are your partner. we have always been your partners. people who can't purchase the bookstores were having difficulties, 86 authors, talking about the favored independent bookstore. we are the public universities, the place that everyone can get materials. and so we should be part. important for the librarians to actually make some changes in the way we purchase. we have alleged fraud resources that are just selecting. buy structures need to reflect that as well. >> any ideas from other countries, use of a cultural institutions. one example. recently. istanbul, robo book. my wife when and. it's a building. which is full of all the things mentioned in the novel. the diaries. and people have been going in to shops asking to buy this particular handbag which is mentioned in the book. the museum is entirely made up of things from the

expect triple digits to we can.expect triple digits to weaken but we will see some much needed cooler relief as we start the next work week. now want to remind you of our 24/7 news channel. you can check in at any time to get the latest news, weather and traffic. >> george: we are attracting many hot spots around the bay area. the volume is building and it has added one minute to the drive time now 12 minutes from the macarthur maze. this is really the first backup of the morning, the san detail bridge is clear we will continue our check at the golden gate with the 101 south bound. we have no delays to traffic and looking at your commute on the shore freeway the drive time stays at 18 minutes for your west bound ride. 24 still looks good. we have added about three minutes on 680 south bound. this is now 21 minutes into dublin. west bound this tingling, with no surprises. your commute on 101 north bound is now 18 minutes out of the tightly valley. we have some slowing for interstate 280 but still not a bad ride. this

of accessing the content of the digital book, whether it's a digital text or a digital audio. because now we don't want to have to read the thing from start to finish without, you know, moving around in it. we wanted to be able to jump to pitch her @booktv. we wanted to be able to find out from chapter to chapter rest of the boring parts. its members were organizations serving the blind. based on their unique experiences of this population, the consortium developed the concept and standard for structuring a digital book so that it could be navigated without reading it straight through. and this, in turn, led the groundwork for each of the three witches a current open source format used by a lot of mainstream publishers, and we would like to see it used by all. very accessible. what does all this have to do with the international side? well, folks, the book, as an artifact, as a physical work of art is certainly a beautiful and treasured thing. it is important is a cultural icon, the paper box. comfortable and familiar container. the real value of the book lies in its contents,

some places could get into the triple digits.let us into the erica with our forecasts. >> erica: a spare the ear alert has been issued for today we could have problems with air quality. as we take a live look outside, for the most part we have a pretty clear start to the morning. temperatures are sitting in the '50s and '60s for the most part. for the most part temperatures will be in the 80s and 90s and yes some triple digits for your warmest in the areas. i will bring down the afternoon high temperatures and show how long the heat will last coming up in my next report. >> george: currently we are not tracking in the hot spots. there was an incident in san jose. we have like traffic for your ride through the east bay. >> justine: we begin with a developing story out of open were in power line is down after a car crashed into the poll. these are live pictures, you can see that the poll is sort of on its side. and to give you more news faster we have jackie on the scene with the latest. >> reporter: you can see the power pole lean

all these things can be digitized. so now this part of the world is known for its great innovation, and apple has been center stage. the whole logo of apple after steve jobs' death was except that it should be potentially change, but the impact of course has been worldwide. and i think it's very interesting because this cartoon kind of captures it from "the new yorker" cover to moses meets steve, he's going to upgrade your tablet. [laughter] so what's interesting here is i suspect many of you read this book, right? and if you haven't i highly recommend it. because it traces the whole digital age from the '70s all the way through 2011. it's a pretty impressive book. but what i like most about this book was a quote from the next last chapter. steve jobs was trying to survive to see his son at his high school graduation to his was a quote to walter isaacson. i think the biggest innovation of the 21st century will be the intersection of biology and technology. that's what we are talking about tonight. so now let's talk mor

are we looking to get additional support to do the digitization of our files? is that something that you could actually have here before us as a recommendation? you're looking for additional funding for it? you only do that within your existing budget? >> every year the last five years i have brought the issue of digitization before the committee [speaker not understood]. last year's budget i received approval from the committee and the board to hire a position to start the process. and what we have is a position that we utilized previously for it services is actually going to assist us as well. so, we'll have two in-house positions to help us with this, which will be just a part of the it's duties. we will be bringing a proposal to the board in the next year to do that digitizing the board's records. madam chair, i appreciate you bringing that up as i didn't mention it today, but we are on track to bring a proposal to the board to do that. probably -- possibly in june or the following year. >> is that a project of a certain duration in time or one we expect to

and i started a digital ballclub just like the old fashioned book club only in the digital world. [laughter] in has only been around six weeks but it is of a wonderful thing to be part of a commercial endeavor. you make a plan that it can change i don't know all the answers but maybe there will present themselves. it is a creative endeavor. it is from the balance it is beautiful see you could go to bet at night i did the right thing that i will try again tomorrow. >> what is the ludwig von reese's institute? >> it is the nonprofit organization located in alabama center of liberty who was a great and fascist she took on the rest am very pleased with another book called no more gatekeepers to how to build your own civilization in the digital age. >> host: do sell more hard-cover the books or on the internet? >> moors e-books the first one i picked up by thought to this is spectacular. it is the future. i felt them of. we make everything with e-book. people still love them. we print everything also audio books you have to be all things to all people. >> host: as a book publisher with

. >> around the same time congress passed digital millennium con by right act. the dmca created an administrative method to take down notices to internet service providers hosting copyright material. although dmca has distractors, they abouted properly to avoid a glut of copyright cases that would clog courts all over the country. there was a process, albeit a complicated one, for those who had material legitimately to make that argument and have their content restored to the isp. the dmca provides them with a safe harbor provided they do not activity participate in or benefit from the sharing of that infringing content and they take certain actions when they receive a dmca take down notice. isps must register a dmca copyright agent and comply with take down notices. skipping ten years ago to 2008-2009 we saw congress pass the higher education opportunity act already referenced. among the requirements for colleges and universities are two concerning peer to peer file sharing when my co-author at georgetown and i refer to as the notice provision and the written p

we offer classes and workshops in digital camera, digital printing. we offer classes basically in the shooting, ton the town at night, treasure island. there is a way for the programs exploring everyone who would like to spend the day on this program. >> hello, my name is jennifer. >> my name is simone. we are going on a field trip to take pictures up the hill. >> c'mon, c'mon, c'mon. >> actually, i have been here a lot. i have never looked closely enough to see everything. now, i get to take pictures. >> we want to try to get them to be more creative with it. we let them to be free with them but at the same time, we give them a little bit of direction. >> you can focus in here. >> that was cool. >> if you see that? >> behind the city, behind the houses, behind those hills. the see any more hills? >> these kids are wonderful. they get to explore, they get to see different things. >> we let them explore a little bit. they get their best. if their parents ever ask, we can learn -- they can say that they learned about the depth of field or the rule of th

digital sister cities. on your last visit in 2006 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of our partnership, we signed an accord being digital sister cities. this accord has facilitated numerous parisian company ins establishing companies in san francisco such as parisoma which we will visit tomorrow. and we see companies based in san francisco that create branches in paris such as soef fee nova whose ceo, a member of the city sister committee is with us today. there are many other examples of successful and flourishing business and commercial relations between our two cities, an atmosphere made part in possible due to the close working relationship between our two close municipalities. finally, as each of the mayors before me, i must comment on the world of art and culture of which san francisco and paris are two world capitals. our cultural exchanges are often, live the highest quality. many san francisco cultural institutions of every size perform frequently in paris. san francisco's symphony presents every

of course a digital tablet or digital screen, but it gives them a smooth way of making the characters perform. that's the biggest thing that affects our movies and its economy in the years to come. >> jeff katzenberg, i heard him say that there's something like 130,000 different frames in an animated movie. can you give us an idea of sort of the scale that we're talking here with this process? >> so you can start from the outside, as you say. there's 130,000 frames in a typical animated movie. each one of which has to be manufactured. each one of those frames probably has in the reach of 100,000 individual assets. so a typical movie involves half a billion files and 250 billion individual pixels. so that's the scale of the finished product. if you think about that product going through its hundreds and hundreds of iterations, each frame, each shot, each performance, at different stages of the production that's why we it -- it takes 60, 70 million render hours to produce a movie over its lifetime. >> now, dreamworks animation was spun out of the dreamworks live action operation, the st
