Being A Leader With A Presidential Teleprompter

By Robert Ross


By most modern standards, the world used to be empty. But it was not empty. There was plenty of nature in it. It was just that instead of settling down, humanity wandered around it. They went about hunting and gathering in order to keep on surviving. But eventually, a certain tribe decided to settle down. They settled near the water, because the crops they were growing, the livestock they were raising, and their own bodies all need that water. Now, these settlements would be seeds from which the modern world would grow. In the modernity, many people will end up listening as their leader reads from a presidential teleprompter.

Democracy in some way, shape, or form throughout most of the developed world. In a lot of nations, the head of state is chosen democratically, which means that almost anyone can hold the office. They are generally the most influential politicians in a given country.

A teleprompter is a screen. They are generally placed right next to a camera. Now, on that screen, there will be words that scroll by as the cameras roll. Those words will generally be a speech. Now, newscaster will make use of them as well in order to deliver the news to the public.

It is expected of the president to make a speech. That is because they are generally the most visible member of the government. Which means that they are the mouthpiece of the nation, or at least the figurehead. If there is information that is going to seriously impact national policy, then the citizenry would be right to expect it to come from the mouth of the leader of that country.

The reason that a teleprompter is used is simple. The speeches that are given can rather crazy in length. Thousands upon thousands of words, hundreds upon hundreds of sentences. Which means that it is pretty much impossible to give one purely from memory, which is why it has to be read out.

There are certain risks that come with using one however. They are machines, which means that they can be compromised as machines are vulnerable to that. If they are compromised, then the words that roll by on their screens can be changed. So a prankster can hack in, rewrite the speech, and the president could get completely embarrassed on national television.

Using one should be easy enough. All that a person has to do is read one. The only thing that needs to be done with it is to program the speech in and then turn it on. Once that is done, all that it left is to hope for literacy on the part of the reader.

Now, it is important to have a speechwriter. This is because words will not put themselves together. There has to be a person who takes them together and then strings them into sentences, and then that person has to take those sentences and then hopefully form a coherent thought of some sort. Then a politician is supposed to read those sentences on live television. So it is important that the speechwriter be somewhat competent.

The thing about life is that it was supposed to be something that came with a lot of difficulty. It was supposed to be hard, quick, and painful. But humankind was so stubborn that it managed to get out of it.
