Interesting Video Predicting the Future of Media


Richard MacManus of Read/WriteWeb
directs our attention to “The Future of Media”, an interesting video produced by Italian internet consulting company Casaleggio Associati that attempts to predict the future of media over the next 40-50 years. The video runs through a scenario where Google buys Microsoft, Amazon buys Yahoo, Second Life replicates reality and then all of the companies ultimately become the new company Prometeus, making virtual life the biggest market on the planet.

Oh and in 2020 Lawrence Lessig becomes the new US Secretary of Justice and declares copyright to be illegal.

UPDATE: Davide Casaleggio of Casaleggio Associati would like to hear from you guys about what you think the future of media will be like.
