Epic 2015 – A great perception looking forward ;)

It’s been I long time since I saw the original (Epic 2014) of which this is an update of  a movie made by Robin Sloan for the Museum of Media History

Set in 2014 it charts the history of the Internet, the evolving mediascape and the way news and newspapers were affected by the growth in online news.

It coined the word “Googlezon” from a future merger of Google and Amazon to form the Google grid, and speaks of news wars with the Times becoming a print only paper for the elite culminating in EPIC Evolving Personalised Information Construct.

I know its a bit behind with some of its timings (it was filmed in 2006 ) but interesting nonetheless.

Hat Tip for the memory:  Ilkka Kauppinen

Gordon Brown’s Gaffe & Cameron’s Blair Idolisation Exposed

The wonders of politics yesterday Gordon Brown gets caught making a comment about a voter, although I find all politicians untrustworthy did feel that as an individual Gordon should be able to voice his opinion but maybe as PM should turn his mike off first!

In the interests of providing a political balance here is some disturbing info on David Cameron 🙂

Can’t find anything on Nick Clegg but will keep looking 🙂
