An old coworker of mine sent me a link to this Flash presentation, and I thought it was quite interesting. Starting with true dates and events from the ‘birth’ of the internet, it shows the possibility of a future where the world’s media is produced by us through a new information system, built eventually by today’s online giants. You’ll have to give the movie a watch.

The exciting (maybe scary) aspect of this Flash movie that it’s not too far-fetched. Given the growing popularity in the customized, globally-accessible, user-driven systems beginning to surround us (Google, Friendster, blogging, etc.), a future not unlike what this Flash movie suggests… could be on it’s way.
