PS.. Mattrang. The naraters name is given at the end of the show, And also the entire story is set in 2014.. so for the narator.. everything is the past...
Is EPIC the beginning of Matrix?
That could happen for all those wide-eyed bloggers, but somehow it's not really believable.
:D man, why you always have in mind something like that ? unchangeable ?
Not so sure. Remember that at the end of 19th century French scientists proved that objects heavier than the air cannot fly. Look where WWW and IT were 10 years ago. It's not that much fantesy in that scenario with GoogleZon and EPIC.Quote:

so they predicted Microsoft will buy Friendster in 2005(which is as far as I know, Microsoft didn't)...but Friendster is handling its crown to MySpace...I know...Friendster still can be manipulated/enhanced...but I don't think that's how Microsoft works...
but this prediction will be interesting if they predict Friendster will be under Google...this is more likely to be true if we see the trend Google is going into...can you imagine if Friendster is under Google?...a premature Google Grid (as suggested in the movie) will be formed...
from all the prediction they made, Google Grid is more likely to be true...other predictions are just another baloney I think...
EЛC(read: EPIC)?...nah! that can't be in the near future...2014 is only 8 years to come...and I don't think the world will into that trend...we're talking about real news here...not about custom-made computer generated news based on the user habits, interest, social network, etc...EPIC is an insult to the world's civilization...
EPIC can be done but I don't think it'll bring a global-phenomena...
if I understand this EPIC idea correctly(as my English is far from good), this idea can only bring chaos...I mean, I read the news today and I say to my friend, "look to the news today, it's talking about bla bla"...and my friend will say, "nah! your news still not enough..remove your filter of bla bla"...we'll have news circled around our interest/personality/etc....what a joke!!...
[ON NOT SO SERIOUS NOTE]:
unless there's another 'global flood' that can change the way of the world spinning today within a year or so, people will still enjoy their morning newspaper in between their first cup of coffee...
[ON A VERY NOT SERIOUS NOTE]:
looks like someone is trying to be a Nostradamus diciple:D...
I don't have a speaker to listen to that, so I just watched the movie and made up my own assumption from what I have seen only..
it was boring..:p:D;)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!.............Quote:

I think it was magical..
I've emailed the page link to most of my IT buddies and they all Love it (With the naration....)
you dont know what your missing....
I totally agree with mrRee (only the serious notes) but it's not unlikely to happen at all. Maybe not in the next 8 hours, but why not?
You just wasted 8 minutes of your life... It has no point to watch it without sound. ;)Quote:

The EPIC has you... Follow the white rabit... because there is no spoon.
Very interesting. Google certainly has some power many people oversee. Put it this way: many people use Google as a universal information source and tend to belive in the results Google returns for the queries. A huge manipulative effect arised if Google just "held back" some information. I'm not implying that Google does this in any form, mind you. But it is possible and practically impossible to prove.
And that is true for a simple search, that is "give me the documents containg these words". As soon as the technology is far enough to offer synthese searches on the scale of todays Google (that is searches like "gather and organize all information about..") Google's power would exponentially grow.
As in many domains, technilogy evolves faster than our understanding of its dangers.
