CNN's Hologram Reporters
Every election, the news networks will try to dazzle viewers with new technologies and graphics that add a little eye candy to hours of dry election coverage. From the Microsoft Surface to some other proprietary software platform, this year, touchscreens were all the rage.
Admittedly, watching MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell awkwardly fumble around with a Microsoft Surface was pretty entertaining. But as far as technology this election, CNN was the clear winner with hologram correspondents!? Seeing hologram reporters in the CNN Election Center was like watching Princess Leia tell Luke Skywalker that Virginia's electoral votes were McCain's only hope.
