Blogging the WC 2006 from home
Following the World Cup games live is not too difficult even from the CST time zone (7 hours earlier than Germany.) Here at home, we watch the 3 p.m. games (in Germany) at 8 a.m. in Iowa and Minnesota. To check the time differences you can convert times here.
There are sites like the official WC site that have live match commentary. I assume that you can find live television coverage if you have cable too.
One question we might ask as technical communicators is how is the experience of the event influenced by the medium that we use to watch or listen to the matches? For example, being in the stadium, we can hear, see, and watch the action on the field and in the stands. From the web site we can read the commentary, look at video clips and the still photographs. Through television we can witness the event also, but in a different way. How is the observer's experience influenced by the medium (radio, television, in-person) that the observer uses? What is your experience?
