Alec Couros writes: "You'll find an interesting flash-based video from the 'Museum of Media History' which basically charts real events previous to 2004 (invention of the WWW, rise of Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.) and then produces mythical events to project the revolution of our modern media (fall of the New York Times, invention of Google-Zon - a merger between Google and Amazon). If you have 8 minutes, it's worth taking a look at ... and may help us ponder the future landscape of personal and mass media." I had a watch - it's worth the eight minutes (people with dial-up may take a bit longer).
