EPIC 2015

Epic 2015 is a short movie about the future of Internet technology and connectivity.  The film starts with the history of the modern Internet age with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.  The film continues in telling the history of mergers, purchases, and updates with and between these companies and others like them as though the film was made after 2015.  It leaves us enjoying a bluebird day in the comfort of our home, listening to pod casts of our neighbors as they plan for a sunny day BBQ.  

A major impact for teachers and students will be the breadth and depth of which we and they are able to find information on past and current events.  No longer will teachers be able to remain stumped on questions, "just Google it."  In theory it could leave us with a news source that will have accomplished what thousands of years of human trials have not been able to accomplish...unbiased news media.  On the other hand human input and the monopoly effect on the reporting of the news may cause the opposite.
