Epic 2014 is the original flash online movie made by Robin Sloan for the Museum of Media History
Set in 2014 it charts the history of the Internet, the evolving mediascape and the way news and newspapers were affected by the growth in online news.
It coined the word "Googlezon" from a future merger of Google and Amazon to form the Google grid, and speaks of news wars with the Times becoming a print only paper for the elite culminating in EPIC Evolving Personalised Information Construct
As a flash animation, this film is extraordinary, not just for it's use of technology but for it's fantastic perception looking forward.

Era uno splendido tentativo di ripercorrere la storia di internet partendo dai primi anni 90 e di proiettarla nel futuro, fino al 2014 (poi 2015 nella versione reload, quella che vedete qui sotto, uscita nel 2007)
La cosa divertente ed inquietante è capire come solo due anni fa non era prevedibile quasi nulla di ciò che sta realmente accadendo. Il futuro è davvero un mistero?
