2014 EPIC - The Future of Online [Media]
2014 EPIC - The Future of Online [Media] - an 8 minute Flash movie that chronicles the media wars, dateline 2014. I'll just quote
Nate Koechley's intro: "What happens with Google, Amazon, Blogger, Microsoft, Friendster and TiVo play together? What happens when search, news, shopping, social networks, blogging, camera phones, recommendations, filtering, archiving, the long tail, and everything else that's ALREADY in motion congeals?" It's...well, like he said (jeez, could I be LESS ORIGINAL?), "Remember that feeling you got when you 'got it' in the first Matrix movie?"
It's like that. That was a good and scary feeling, probably why I saw the movie several times (too bad the sequels were crappy). I don't know how we're supposed to react to this more-probable-than-not production. I thought it was cool. Then I thought, "crap, am I supposed to think it's scary? Scary
bad?" Now I'm back to "cool" but with a quizzical look on my face. I guess that's cool-with-an-asterisk.
