EPIC 2015

EPIC 2015 was a short movie we watched in class that talk about major events that happened in the world of technology. But those events takes a turn for fiction when the date passes the videos published date, in other words it completely turns to fiction after about 2006. It starts out by saying factually correct information like Tim Burners Lee inventing the World Wide Web, Amazon and Google inventions. But after 2006 he starts to predict new events that would unfold, and I can see why he would predict these based on the time. But all of the predictions he told did not come true at all.

Predictions he made:

2006 - Google unveils the Google Grid, a universal platform offering an unlimited amount of space and bandwidth that can be used to store anything.

2007 - Microsoft Newsbotster, a social news network, ranks and sorts news. It allows everyone to comment on what they see.

2008 - Google and Amazon merge to form Googlezon.

2010 - The news wars rage between Microsoft and Googlezon. But not really wars.

2011 - The New York Times sues Googlezon.

2014 - Googlezon unleashes EPIC, the Evolving Personalized Information Construct.  

My personal favorites are Googlezon and how The New York Time sues Googlezon. And the Fact that google won because it was so powerful. That fact is basically true today. Google is really powerful, and the internet is putting the Newspaper industry out of business. And I won’t be surprised if EPIC does come true and even more powerful so. With many researching more powerful A.I maybe the world will become fully automatic without human intervention.
