Prometeus: The Media Revolution
I found this video to be both thought provoking, and unsettling. It does an excellent job of interweaving the factual advancements of the past, with a series of hypothetical futuristic scenarios. Along with the explanation of the evolution of these technologies and technological mediums, some of the speculated outcomes appear intriguing and arguably likely in nature. If nothing else, this video provides food for thought, for anyone who is interested in the fields of media, technology, and culture. Ultimately, if we are honest with ourselves, this should include (to differing degrees,) just about all of us.

Interesting take on the evolution of media. Makes it seem really believable when they start with developments we are all familiar with and then project them to another level. I looked up the OhMyNews site, because I hadn't heard of it; it's a Korean, citizen journalist organization. Pretty cool. It does seem possible that a similar scenario plays itself out in the next 50 years. Google is taking over the world!
