My thought for the day… So far the Oscar Pistorius trial being recorded live on television has reminded me more of Edisons first recording of Mary Had a Little Lamb.... Its not so much that the subject matter is interesting (which of course it is)… Its more that it (24 hour live TV coverage) is being done for the first time. The poem Mary Had a Little Lamb is not interesting per se… The fact that it was recorded for the first time is interesting.... If that recording was being reported by todays media it would go along the lines of a news reporter saying that it had been done, then the recording being played to us to prove that it had been done, and then an interview with a special reporter discussing what it said and the fact that it had been done..... The news on radio 4 this morning contained a lengthy report on the prosecution witness testimony which consisted of the news reporter saying what she had said, then a live recording of her saying what she had said, and then another reporter discussing what she had just said and confirming that she had said it...... And what she said was I heard some screams and then some shots… Actually that scans with Mary Had a Little Lamb quite well.... :)
