    • Technology And The Royal Wedding

      20-Apr-2011

      The last Royal Wedding, that of Prince Charles to Lady Diana, took place in 1981. “I was just 8 years old”, says Melandra Smith of Technical Translations, “Children certainly didn’t possess mobile phones, social networking was all but unheard of, and quite a few local people didn’t even yet own a colour TV.” We are talking about the heart of the Peak District, but even here technology has come on in leaps and bounds since the 1980s. And this is sure to make this year’s Royal Wedding a very different kind of experience to the last one, 30 years ago. Technical Translations have been taking a look at some of the most notable changes in the way we will be keeping up with events today.

      So what’s on offer to the technologically advanced citizens of 2011, with instant communication and the capability to watch and comment on every twist and turn of the Royal Wedding quite literally at their fingertips?

      One of the main changes in the way we view our media today is of course linked to the global take-up and popularity of the Internet over the last couple of decades, and it comes as no surprise to learn that the Royal Wedding will be streamed live on YouTube, and with the feed coming from the BBC. We also learn that this will be complimented by a live blog, compiled by royal officials.

      Staff at St James’s Palace and Clarence House will be working together on the blog, providing the public with useful links, historical information, photographs and video, as well as being linked to a live Twitter feed. YouTube are also inviting participation from the general public in the online festivities with a “Wedding Book” where anyone who wishes to do so can upload their own video congratulating the happy couple.

      And what about Facebook, that giant of the social networking scene linking people of every creed and culture and speaking every known language, from all over the globe? The Royal Family have their own page on the site, and anyone interested in the forthcoming nuptials can register this by clicking on a button to show that they too are joining Kate and William on their happy day, at least in the virtual sense. All we are left wondering now is whether the Royal Family have considered providing translations of any of the various media feeds, just to bring everything right up to date with the very global nature of the attention that this year’s wedding will surely occasion!
