Media Museum of the year 2014
Everybody interested in the future of digital media and the computer industry in general should have a look at the following flash movie. Available from broom.org. It’s fascinating. I think that it’s ultimately flawed in some of its suppositions about MAD (Mergers, Acquitisions and Divestitures)New York Times ®. I suspect that it’s more likely that a merger or joint-venture between old-world and new-world media will be part of this revolution. Rather than bypassing established media companies and brands. Old media and new media will combine with a different, more cooperative organisational structure. Perhaps in 2010 computers will be able to provide the value-added interpretations that news companies currently provided. More thoughts on this later but I think that more sophisticated content licensing, canonical information addressing & DRM will play a part. Still, this really made me think and it’s beautiful to watch.
