This sounds amazing, almost makes me want to change my first major to programming. Whats so great about this hypothesized future is that it is by no means impossible.
I wonder how many noticed that EPIC's shadown is pi :/
I think it's an absolutely awful idea - and the narrator seems to hold with my view. It simply would not work and would destroy journalism.
The few journalists who actually go places and find/report the news (for the major news agencies/papers) would go out of business as their companies disappear - which leaves us with the people who interpret the news that the journalists find i.e. everyone else. They don't have the resources to find news so they would just make it up with a horrible personal bias.
Say hello to the world before media. Say hello to unprofessional, biased journalism. Say goodbye to reliable information.
This is not the route that we should take. There is no way that a court would rule in favour of this 'Googlezon' because they would be blatantly breaching copyright laws.
Also - I think the guy said that Microsoft went bust or something in that clip. That's ridiculous - Microsoft don't have all their business in the news market - it's all in the software industry.
Unrealistic. And I only watched up to beginning of '08.
Helios where do you find all these things?
Anyways, watched the whole thing. If it does actually happen "googlezon" then alot of people will be unemployed and it will destroy the world. Think of all the reporters and newspaper people.
Where did they get this idea anyways?
It was probably some political idealist who came up with the idea.
He was very detalied with dates and stuff - Marth 9th 2014?
Is he from the future or something?
BTW: Has anyone seen that webpage to that guy who said he was from the future and he said all this stuff. I read it a while ago and have never been able to find it
All that talk about bots creating news reminds me of some sort of start to AI
