JenniCAM Invented RealityTV

http://pop17.com
Jennifer Ringley started JenniCAM in 1996. She was the first lifecaster to stream her life 24/7 and can be considered the woman who inspired "Reality TV." In 2003, CNN quoted her saying, "I keep JenniCam alive not because I want or need to be watched, but because I simply don't mind being watched." The site disappeared that year along with Jenni's internet identity, but she will always be remembered for the groundbreaking work she did on JenniCAM.

[nickygentz]

in 1979 Albert Brooks wrote and directed a movie called Real Life,..it was about a filmaker who follows a family around with cameras and films every aspect of they're lives,...the movie sucked but it was definatly ahead of it's time as far as all the shitty reality shows they put on T.V.......i'm just full of useless facts.

Yeah, "An American Family" was the first. Wasn't "The Real World" first on in 1992.

@logik316 I said nothing about nudity or sex nor was it my intention to infer such a thing.

Have a great weekend.

@nazaxprime

Sex and nudity weren't the point behind her project, or did you miss that part?

[whatheavensaid]
