Some educated and imaginative guesses at how the Web and media will evolve over the next 40-50 years. In the short movie, Google, Amazon.com and
Second Life are the big winners - with Google buying Microsoft, Amazon buying Yahoo, and Second Life becoming the dominant virtual world.
The core future media concept is the Agav - an Agent-Avatar, which "finds information, people, places in the virtual worlds". In 2022 Google launches Prometeus, the Agav standard interface, and Amazon creates 'Place' - a company that replicates reality. Then in 2027 Second Life evolves into 'Spirit', where people can become who they want to be. And then finally, the 'Google overloads' moment - when Prometeus buys Place and Spirit! By 2050 virtual life is the world's biggest market and Google/Prometeus reigns supreme.
These are wild guesses, many of which I don't agree with. The future will certainly turn out different, but the video does make you think about where the Web is headed...
