Michael Jackson was a fan of new technology.
From his ground breaking new dance moves, musical stylings and video production, he was always looking for the very latest thing and finding a way to connect to his fans with it.
Up until the time of his death this new tech trend was evident in everything he did. His web site Michael Jackson Live was making the most of the web to reach out to his fans.
Jackson even used YouTube to seek suggestions from fans for his upcoming music set list.
He starred in Captain EO, a 3-D interactive film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and shown at Disney theme parks, including Epcot center in Florida. There is a Captain EO fan site and you can still watch the film on YouTube, here.
There is no question Jackson was a controversial public figure. But his embrace of new technology was likely no less impactful than his musical contributions....
