Looking ahead, the connection between miniature hardware and popular media will only grow stronger. The next phase of development points toward . This will allow creators to broadcast high-fidelity video from almost anywhere on earth without relying on a computer workstation. As micro-cameras become more common, the boundary between professional studios and indie creators will disappear entirely.
