Live Life With No Regrets!The Media Generation
We live in a media generation.
This is no longer the information age, it is the media age. The iPod is the precursor and the sign of the times that media will be the underlying theme for the next 25-40 years.
Skills like html, photoshop, photography, videography, music, and the like will be the basis of a lot of communication and entertainment.
People will be judged on how well they present themselves using new media.
It will become a commodity.
But also, the rise of the skilled artist will be ever more increased. Just like sports was an amateurish profession 50 years ago but now paid multi-million dollar professional salaries, so will the creative arts.
The best video editors, the best 3d artists, the best producers and directors.
Hollywood will continue to be a major power together with the games industry and other media institutions like news, publishing, broadcasting entities.
Media will become all pervasive. Instead of reading newspapers and books, media like videos, music, news will be on the go in trains, busses, cabs and the like.
Things to think about:
- This will happen, the problem is how? There are major economic factors, and policies that will determine who becomes the power players and where success goes to in this age.
- How can we take advantage of this?
