Prometeus - The Media Revolution


http://... also available in:Español: http://...

Man is God.
He is everywhere, he is anybody, he knows everything.
This is the Prometeus new world.
All started with the Media Revolution, with Internet, at the end of the last century.
Everythingrelated to the old media vanished: Gutenberg, the
copyright, the radio, the television, the publicity.
The old world reacts: more restrictions for the copyright, new laws against non authorized copies. Napster, the music peer to peer company is sued.
At the same time, free internet radio appears;
TIVO, the internet television, allows to avoid publicity; the Wall Street Journal goes on line; Google launches Google news.
Millions of people read daily the biggest on line newspaper. Ohmynews written by thousands of journalists; Flickr becomes the biggest repository in the history of photos, YouTube for movies.
The power of the masses.
A new figure emerges: the prosumer, a producer and a consumer of information. Anyone can be a prosumer.
The news channels become available on Internet.
The blogs become more influential than the old media.
The newspapers are released for free.
Wikipedia is the most complete encyclopedia ever.
In 2007 Life magazine closes.
The NYT sells its television and declares that the future is digital. BBC follows.
In the main cities of the world people are connected for free.
At the corners of the streets totems print pages from blogs and digital magazines.
The virtual worlds are common places on the Internet for millions of people.
A person can have multiple on line identities.
Second Life launches the vocal avatar.
The old media fight back.
A tax is added on any screen; newspapers, radios and televisions are financed by the State; illegal download from theweb is punished with years of jail.
Around 2011 the tipping point is reached: the publicity investments are done on the Net. The electronic paper is a mass product: anyone can read anything on plastic paper.
In 2015 newspapers and broadcasting television disappear, digital terrestrial is abandoned,the radio goes on the Internet.
The media arena is less and less populated. Only the Tyrannosaurus Rex survives. The Net includes and unifies all the content. Google buys Microsoft. Amazon buys Yahoo! and become the world universal content leaders with BBC, CNN and CCTV.
The concept of static information - books, articles, images - changes and is transformed into knowledge flow.
The publicity is chosen by the content creators, by the authors and becomes information, comparison, experience.
In 2020 Lawrence Lessig, the author of 'Free Culture', is the new US Secretary of Justice and declares the copyright illegal.
Devices that replicate the five senses are available in the virtual worlds. The reality could be replicated in Second Life.
Any one has an Agav (agent-avatar) that finds information, people, places in the virtual worlds.
In 2022 Google launches Prometeus, the Agav standard interface.
Amazon creates Place, a company that replicates reality. You can be on Mars, at the battle of Waterloo, at the Super Bowl as a person. It's real.
In 2027 Second Life evolves into Spirit. People become who they want.
And share the memory. The experiences. The feelings. Memory selling becomes anormal trading.
In 2050 Prometeus buys Place and Spirit. Virtual life is the biggest market on the planet. Prometeus finances all the space missions to find new worlds for its customers: the terrestrial avatar.
Experience is the new reality.

Who are you to say he just has an accent? - because I can compare it to the dialect of a univesity prof. and the accent textbooks to date
Things always change, but at a given moment in time(or in proximity to the moment) things can be measured, and classified , at this moment there is a certain sounding of American that feels normal
everyone has an accent but some people are way off there enough to actually mention the fact
this is arguing about nothing, but this question was weak to begin with

Trying to be a philosopher won't really make a difference here... - really? way to start an argument, just please yourself by saying you're right

Why would anyone want to hear you speak a foreign language? - you dont seem to understand the basic principles of agrument , everything I say is to enforce my point , and my point has nothing to do with anyone wanting or not wanting to speak a foreign language, would you like me explain it to you again?

you're right. life is about the experience. our progression towards more immersive media might just be a function of that initial goal. why would we be trying to create robots to think like us, video games, movies, all music is about getting experience from the artists perspective. i've always wanted to live everyone's lives, now i undertand why.ability is evidence of the purpose, i find the world is still moving slowly since all technology is stifled to maxmimize profit

Whats the differense between false experience and false. its all in your mind right? I get what you meen, if you havent done it its only fantasy and not real. But when you think about it. If you have an made up experience its an experience non the less. A dream can give you experince even if it never happend, Right?
Abrin19 (December 19, 2008 at 2:36 am)
Human life is all about getting as experience as you can befire you die. If you could buy pre packed experience in order to save time, any ibe would jump on that in a second. Imagine an 80 year old man regretting not to have climbed the himalyas in hes youth. Before he died he would have bought all experinces he could get hes hands on. Lets hope this prophesy isnt only fiction.

i think there are enough ppl who would :D
kellymind1993 (December 11, 2008 at 2:14 pm)
who wants to buy memories?if we do that,we lost the true experience!
sixtysixfish (December 9, 2008 at 5:41 am)
Yeah, that's what we should do with our flourishing market, invest more.
RoCkAbilLyCat001 (December 9, 2008 at 4:02 am)
the more we put into the media the less we get out of life and once the media has your whole life you have no life. the media's goal is to control. but the media has nothing, it is nothing. just something that we created and it is now controlling us. if you want experience go out and live life!!!Throw your crackberry away!!!AND MAKE YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE!!!!

Trying to be a philosopher won't really make a difference here...

Why would anyone want to hear you speak a foreign language? Who are you to say he just has an accent? You're Canadian, it's like me telling you to stop speaking American English because your accent is different then mine. It's like calling a redneck stupid just because he has a different accent then you. You're in the wrong here.
lyscan (December 5, 2008 at 11:04 pm)
Who said I asked for a name?
WTF usually means , What The Fk and not Who The Fk, but to the likes of you , who refuse to pay attention this shouldn't even be typed
Correct LMAO
Ok, the state of things described in the video is already somewhat prevalent nowadays, all or most major companies are owned by the rich families who have tight bonds with each other , competition is an illusion
a bunch of pretty pictures to look at and say
oh its simple: thats yahoo&ggl, they are not the same I know
lyscan (December 5, 2008 at 10:47 pm)
Words are just labels my friend, you put them where you wish without respect, just like me
as you've sniffed out, for calling a man something you will become that something, but I'm dissatisfied with a video and its not the same

Why would somebody want to hear a foreigner speaking f'n English trying to describe events of such importance, and making himself look important, shouldn't he at first be conveying in his own language if he's so F'n proud to show its traces?
eSFasho (December 5, 2008 at 8:11 pm)
Well if you would have watched the whole video the name would have been givin to you dumbass. And if this is so stupid? Then why not explain why so you can just CORRECT everyone!! HUH?

Better start investing in Google!
ZeroMelfice (December 1, 2008 at 2:17 am)
News flash, not everyone is from the same place...

Wow that was so ignorant... I think I just lost half of my IQ responding to it.
NEYU21 (November 27, 2008 at 12:44 am)

lyscan (November 26, 2008 at 7:29 am)
