A landmark year for political conventions and technology. The Republican and Democratic parties held their conventions in the same Philadelphia hall in 1948 because of the elaborate wiring the technology required. Today, Philadelphia's First Union Center is accommodating the GOP convention and yet another new medium. It even secured its own skybox alongside the traditional networks. Five 360-degree camera feeds and five audio feeds will give viewers the chance to direct their own coverage.

It's an event that a lot of people can't participate in. You can't get in here if you are just a regular person. Pseudo won't be alone. And it's not just the media. Political convention organizers have taken to the Net like Furby collectors to eBay.
