The animation is approximately ten minutes long, don't know the size in MB. It discusses the future of media in a somewhat dramatic fashion. The conclusion is pessimistic and I disagree with it, but I highly recommend the animation:

Now, my question for the forum is: do you use any of these "social networks"? I have a vague idea of what they are, I don't use them. The one mentioned in the link is "friendster". Anyone used that? Also, Microsoft's "newsbot" is mentioned, anyone used that?
This is quite an interesting field for me. In the future, I am quite certain, we will all be producers of content. Maybe you were on a scene of an accident and have the best early photo, and maybe you just write entertaining posts about beating up punks. Everyone is going to be a producer, but that's not the intriguing thing.
The intriguing thing is the organization of all that information. Just imagine - a software that analyzes what your friends read, weights that according to some algorithms and gives you recommendations. Even better - a software that manipulates facts
to tailorsuit your needs as an obedient consumer sheep Informed Individual.
Everyone is not only going to be a producer, but also an editor for friends and colleagues. Where this will lead I don't know. I mean, we do it now too, but technology will accelerate it, improve it and eventually strip us of our control over what we recommend, to whom, when and so on.
Yeah, my post is long, but that is what I do when I am in a philosophical mood. Just see the flash and let me know what you think
