EPIC 2014 is a flash movie made which depicts what could possibly happen in the future. Googlezon is featured in the movie and this is a fictional company made from combining Google with Amazon. The story goes, Google invents Google Grid, “a universal platform that provides a functionally limitless amount of storage space and bandwidth to store and share media of all kinds.” and combines with Amazons “social recommendation engine” and “huge commercial infrastructure” to form Googlezon which in turn takes down Microsoft and the major news corporations like The Times, as they can’t compete. Googlezon then releases EPIC (Evolving Personalized Information Construct), a universal, personalized news submission and distribution system that is so popular it effectively puts the fourth estate out of business.
A possible insight to our future or a sensationalistic view on the future of the media?
