Some interesting research:
Taken from Wikiepedia
Googlezon is a fictional company created when Google merges with Amazon.com in the popular flash movie EPIC 2014, released in November 2004. As the story goes, Google, having consolidated all of its services into the Google Grid – a "universal platform that provides a functionally limitless amount of storage space and bandwidth to store and share media of all kinds" – and Amazon.com, with its "social recommendation engine" and "huge commercial infrastructure" combine forces to battle with Microsoft and its fictional Newsbotster in the "News Wars of 2010" which are "notable for the fact that no actual news organizations take part". Googlezon triumphs and unleashes EPIC (Evolving Personalized Information Construct), a universal, personalized news submission and distribution system that is so popular it effectively puts the fourth estate out of business.
Taken from this website:
The Museum of Media History takes us from the present, when citizen journalism, blogging, TiVo and social networking have taken firm hold, to a halfway realistic furture where the "Evolving Personalized Information Construct" is born.
EPIC, as it would be known involoves the merger of Google and Amazon to form Googlezon, the death of the NYT and the personalization of every conceivable aspect of media and product consumption.
In conclusion, the video talks of a greater breadth and depth of information in 2014 that was previously unavailable. The press, no longer exists as we know it. Citizen journalism is much more prevalent with people being payed by googlezon a small portion of their advertising money in proportion to how popular their news story is.
