EPIC – the Future of Media

The fast pace of technology and media culture change every thing is possible. There were many things that predicted about the media and it is technology use. We saw many of them were already happened and lots of them are happing. It is also possible to happen what the people are predicting about the media because of the fact growing technological use.
Although cultural change over years and years are one of the factors, technology is the key here. It is possible that ten years from now Google and Amazon may merge and come up lot of community needed media that can culturally changed media and society. We see everyday that the commercial media are undermining the value and the principle of this country. We see human rights abuses. We see the American democracy tradition and political participation are hijacked by few rich and corrupted dishonest journalists. We did not see the rule of law and the old American civil society follows only and respects rule of law. The future of media prediction showed us the possibilities of change and less or almost technical determinisms.
The Google Grid is possible because consumers or media user are already had many storage since the advance of the web 0.2. So, the next decade or so it is possible the media user may have unlimited access and huge amount of storage. These are all EPIC, the Evolving Personalized Information Construct for well informed citizen.
