0.000 HBDHow Do You Imagine The Next 15 Years of Digital Media?
Yesterday I was reminded of an interesting conversation with @lrock back on the streets of Lisbon. He's currently working on a project called *MetaSteem* which showcases the power of Steem as a brand. There are really no other projects out there which inspires people to keep talking about it and creating stuff for it. It's all homegrown love and creativity. Anyway, there was a part during our talk when Macromedia's Flash came up. I was a Flash-addict. I used to skip school just to learn javascript programming and animating vectors at home. So @lrock brought up the video below which used to be a big thing during the era of Flash. Something that I missed and probably many too. Made in 2004, it's about a fictitious entity in 2014 called the [Museum of Media History](http://museumofmediahistory.com/) talking back in time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt3TmUW90B8 The shape of the future seems quite similar in the video above, right? Near, but not quite. @lrock came up with update after remembering about the above 2004 Flash video. The result is a more simplistic and probably more accurate one with the use of a cerebral, edgy track to go along with hundreds of Google-related videos. I think it's brilliant. Post-truth era and the end of journalism. Perhaps? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nRA3R7fmpU Now that you're experiencing a different kind of platform on Steem, does it feel like the Internet is bending back towards decentralisation and putting power back in your hands? Are there any giant monoliths feeding us information with automated feeds, content recommendations, and all that? Are those necessarily bad things anyway? In some ways, I could see blockchain technologies bringing something like EPIC to life, except more decentralised. Everybody contributes to the grid. Everybody earns along the way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMtXqTmfta0 Some food for thought. What can we learn from nature when organising and building ecosystems? Our environments shapes our identities and the future, which in turns, feeds back into our environments. With blockchain technologies decentralising powers and information back to the people, will we just sit back and let the big boys build our reality, or do we do something about it? So back to the question posed by the [Museum of Media History](http://museumofmediahistory.com/) - how do you imagine the next 15 years of digital media? #epic2029
