In one of my TCOM classes we watched a futuristic video called
EPIC2014.
"The movie is presented from the viewpoint of a fictional "Museum of Media History" in the year
2015. It explores the effects that the convergence of popular
News aggregators, such as
Google News, with other
Web 2.0 technologies like
blogging,
social networking and user participation may have on
journalism and society at large in a hypothesized future. The film popularized the term
Googlezon and touches on major
privacy and
copyright issues raised in this scenario." -Wikipedia
EPIC2014 provides a pretty extensive history of the internet, makes somewhat accurate predictions about the future and some far off ones as well. Shirky talks about the decline of the newspaper and this movie touches on what we discussed in Chapter 2.
