How might the web/journalism look in years to come?

I posed the question to second year journalism undergrads and the replies were:

  • It'll be a 3d virtual world
  • You'll be able to talk to the device/platform to call up your request
  • It won't be the web at all said Graham, but something completely different.

    We looked at three methods for predicting the future

  • Trend extrapolation
  • The Adelphi procedure
  • Modelling and Simulation

    I then asked whether TV will disappear
  • Many said yes, but countered with what the definition of TV per se.

    TV has the magical power of being a social coming together tool, the equivalent of an electronic camp fire.
    Thus far the net is a personalised asset.
    What should give to change the way we react with the medium?

    And so it went......
