Before I watched the video, I thought, no way. But now, holy cow. Here's a quick rundown on the progression of the internet:
1989- World Wide Web created
1994- Amazon-a store that makes suggestions
1998- Creation of Google, the world's largest
1999- TiVo (my personal bff) unshakles tv from the constraints of time
Blogger
2002-Friendster: detailed map of a persons life, interests, social networks
Google News: edited entirely by computers
2003- Year of the blog
2004- The year everything began
2005- Microsoft buys Friendster
2006- Google combines all it's services-creating Google Grid: everyone can own and create, consume
2007- Microsoft, Newsbotster
2008- Alliance: Google and Amazon=Googlezon
2010- News war
2011- The New York Times v. Googlezon visits Supreme Court
2014 EPIC: Evolving Personalized Information Construct
It's like the MATRIX
This really made my eyes widen when I realized just how far the internet has come in such a short time. I wonder where it will end. It is really creepy. Especially 2010-2014: will that be our future? Is this a summary of our world? What else will cease to exist?
Narrow, shallow and sensational. Is this what we chose?
Are there any journalistic ethics anymore?
