EPIC 2015


After watching the EPIC 2015 video on YouTube, I realized how fast the Internet came about and how fast it caught on. It only took a few years until everyone was completely consumed by it. The believable part of the video was just that. The internet was invented and it took off. The explosion of new media is putting the old ways of print journalism in jeopardy. Newspapers and magazines are becomming a thing of the past. With online stores, newspapers, and databases, there is less of a need for libraries and newspapers. The future of journalism is starting now. The internet is starting to become the future of journalism. From advertisements to newspapers to enetertainment, the internet has it all.


The unbelievable part of the video was all of the new alliances and future search engines/ tools that will be comming out. I hadn't even heard of googlezon until watching tis video. Many top internet com[panies make alliances but does this shows how powerful google acually is. Also, the future tools for organizing your online accounts and what not doesn't seem all that easier. In some cases maybe, but you still have to go to that website and do your buisness there. Lastly, the wifipod was not real. It was an old school ipod that got wifi? It's called an itouch or an iphone and if you have an itouch you have to be in proximity to a wifi router inorder to get wifi. The iphone has internet where ever you go because it is a cell phone and all cell phones can get internet now.
