Join Chris and David for a journey into the past, present and future of media. Starting with the (recent) past and one of the biggest milestones in digital media. The streaming of over 3200 hours of live and on demand content of the 2008 Olympics in the US via NBC. We’ll then take a look in the present and see how advances in digital imaging are going to have a profound influence on the social and community-driven experiences that are driving current revolutions on the Web. Finally, we’ll look at the convergence of technology through “ben': A prototype for Democracy in the 21st Century" that demonstrates what the future of media could look like when social-networking platforms, services and media converge.
