Epic 2014 / Epic 2015 [online video]

Set in the year 2014, Epic 2014 is a flash-animated online video that charts the actual and future history of the internet, the evolving mediascape and the way news and newspapers are and will be affected by the growth in online news.

As proposed by this video, an emerging group of news editors will utilise new tools and techniques to create unique online content streams on specialised topics by tapping largely into the RSS content universe as well as in other openly reusable sources of news and information. By the year 2014, the video suggests that these news editors will be the "most wanted" professional media creators in the world.

In the scenario explored in this video, the people who control the news will be the key news directors and producers of the future. They will be able to connect, filter and prioritise information for every media-consumer on the planet, using a single source of media content that contains everything that anyone could possibly ever want to know about.

In Epic 2014, that single source is called EPIC: The 'Evolving Personalized Information Construct'.

Epic 2015 is an updated vision of the future built on Epic 2014 but set in 2015.
