The U.S. economy depends on 31 satellites orbiting the earth that form the global positioning system (GPS). Developed half a century ago for the military, GPS is now used daily by more than seven billion devices worldwide. It’s inside your phone; inside your car; and in the cockpit of every airliner. GPS is also the ultra-precise clock by which the stock market times every trade; the power grid synchronizes generating stations; cell phones operate; and supplies get delivered to stores or your house. “The GPS utility and usefulness has kind of crept into society and the average citizen doesn’t ever see it,” said Brad Parkinson, who developed GPS for the U.S. Air Force in the 1970s. “They don’t realize the harm that would be done if it suddenly weren’t.” Atlanta News First Chief Investigator Brendan Keefe takes you Behind the Investigation.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the YouTube video channel for CBS46 Atlanta News uploads a video it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
