Reflective Chat: Ted Talk and Predictions.

Last week's chat was based around a Ted Talk by Clay Shirky, titled:  How social media can make history. I found it quite interesting to hear more about how Web 2.0  has facilitated in social change. See video below:





Another area we discussed was predicting the news. This also gave me the idea of predicting the future where Media Gambling sites would be the next craze :-)


This short video below titled Epic 2014 attempts to predict the future of social media. However there appears to be an agenda behind this film. I see it as a propaganda exercise, as it implies in a round about way that corporate news is more reliable.
