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.
Everything related 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 the web 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 a normal 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.
Voice: Philip K. Dick Avatar.

| A Portal to Media Literacy |

Presented at the University of Manitoba June 17th
2008. (for those of you waiting for the Library
of Congress presentation, it will be posted July
19th-ish.)
From Stephen's Lighthouse:

"Many of you have probably seen Kansas State
University prof Michael Wesch's thought-provoking
video, "A
Vision of Students Today".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGCJ46vyR9o.
Recently Dr. Wesch spoke at the University of
Manitoba where he explained the the basis of this
video in a talk entitled, "Michael Wesch and the
Future of Education." I found it fascinating! He
describes how he so naturally incorporates
emerging technologies into his courses from the
smallest seminar type class to the largest lecture
theatre filled class.
More importantly he not only talks about the
technologies but how he encourages extraordinary
participation and collaboration from his students
by engaging them in meaningful learning
activities.
Although the video is 66 minutes long...pour a
coffee, iced tea or glass of wine and enjoy this
dynamic presentation from a master teacher."

Dubbed "the explainer" by popular geek publication
Wired because of his viral YouTube video that
summarizes Web 2.0 in under five minutes, cultural
anthropologist Michael Wesch brought his Web 2.0
wisdom to the University of Manitoba on June 17.
During his presentation, the Kansas State
University professor breaks down his attempts to
integrate Facebook, Netvibes, Diigo, Google Apps,
Jott, Twitter, and other emerging technologies to
create an education portal of the future.
"It's basically an ongoing experiment to create a
portal for me and my students to work online," he
explains. "We tried every social media application
you can think of. Some worked, some didn't."

| Media Caught Lying, Version2 |
 |
I stumbled on a stunning disconnect between the
major media version of election coverage and
candidate appearance trends on the internet. The
Mainstream Media seems to have largely ignored
something major on the web.
This version corrects a minor error in the first
version. Note: This video has attracted a lot of
attention from hater-trolls so I may block anyone
that comes here to make trouble. All respectful
and intelligent discussion is welcome.
