Google Epic 2015

Watching this with the NMT term Personalisation in mind, for most people a positive benefit. People will be given news they want to read and wherever they want to read it! The user is presented with content, shopping habbits based upon what he/she likes to watch, read and buy. The news they recieve online is that particular users generated content.Looking at the video though and we all know from the rapid speed of technology and the effeciency of the internet, being able to recieve news any wheres from any wheres and until recently being able to coment on news, have you opinion in this large media landscape gives people that oppurtinity to be part of it! Google epic, google grid etc though could be seen as an invasion of privacy, we know they will aquire, as the internet and spyware companies already do, are buying habbits, are interests even personal questions such as are health and of course where we live which could have devistating effects if that information became public or breached by third parties. Everyone will become part of a big system, in the short term a postive for us and for companies such as Google and Amazon maybe long term thing, information baout ourselfs could be passed on amongs't family and friends. Do these companies need all this information, will be entitled to are privacy and what will be os the news in 2015!

On watching the video a few times over, i did some additional research on the company: Google, and what might actually happen in the near future between such companines and businesses. Facts from fiction kind of thing. This link from wikepedia explains some facts from the video: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google
