EPIC 2014 is a fantastic future documentary showing the convergence on online media into a single personalized, customized media source/filter. Much is currently written about the dangers of an overly centralized and privately controlled media, but what would happen if our media became overly decentralized and publicly created. The name of the fictional Googlezon customer (citizen?) should give a chuckle to anyone who remembers that 20 years ago was famous for more than just being the year that the Macintosh made its debut! (How’s that for an obtuse clue)

Thanks to Alec and Stephen for pointing to this one.
