Prosumers
June 16th, 2007 at 05:25 pmI can’t say that I see this happening as quickly or quite this way, but this video is onto something. To say that LIFE is about to shut their doors later this year is a bit or that Google will one day be financing space exploration in search of new customers is far beyond absurd. But take for instance electronic paper, which I think will be absolutely revolutionary. Once it’s easily and cheaply mass produced, we’ll see a huge shift in the way not only we acquire information, but live our daily lives. Prosumers will be able to tap into whatever they want no matter where they are, making traditional newspapers, books, magazines, and even carrying around laptops obsolete. And as a guy who gets back pain just from carrying a laptop on a shoulder strap, I can’t wait!
