The future of media
Interesting video on the future of media. Some fun predictions, but of course the big shortcoming in this video is that it assumes that the dominant companies of the next decade will all be companies that were formed or got into media in the last decade. While it's fun to think of the Google Grid, NewsBotster or GoogleZon, I suspect that new entrants will play a bigger role than is represented here (an easy prediction because this video doesn't hypothesize ANY new company.)
I also think the paranoia about GoogleZon's hegemony is overblown, and personally feel that hegemony of this sort is impossible. Also, I also suspect that traditional media won't be as slow to act as is suggested here, but we'll see. But this is fun to debate.
