Media online in 2014: Google Grid, GoogleZon, EPIC Revisit a WebTalk Radio episode from early 2005 that raises the topic of what the vision for Google might be and the coming content battle between old and new media online (EPIC 2014 Flash Creator). Imagine your electronic world of 2014. What are the possible future outcomes for Google, Microsoft and Amazon? How will news and media be disseminated? What is the Google Grid? The predictions are made by a popular online eight-minute flash movie called Epic (the Evolving Personalized Information Construct). Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson, both staff at the Poynter Institute for Journalism in Florida, look back at the history of the Web from 10 years in the future. Their story is fascinating, amusing and unnerving. The video, available at www.robinsloan.com/epic from the Museum of Media History, is presented like a video transmission from the year 2014. It suggests possible future outcomes such as Google and Amazon merging to form GoogleZon, Google creating the Google Grid, visual bracelets, how Microsoft will acquire Friendster and gobble up other companies and the creation of EPIC by 2014. Read a more complete article on the topic. Listen to the audio discussion with: Matt Thompson, Voice-over, Co-Creator of EPIC 2014 43 min. at 32K Stream |
