Goes beyond the cutting edge, we want to
be the digital sword, and cut filmmakers & filmgoers a trail to
the future and after, with our
connections to information and
technology, visit the links to the
left to see the paradigm
shift into the digital age of new medias on multiPlatforms.
Digital Age or
Digital
Revolution, we live in EXPONENTIAL TIMES...the paradigm shifts, while the digital paradigm is shifting.
Paul Valéry once remarked, "The future
is not what it used to be. We cannot truly control, invent or
even predict the future. However, we can hold a vision for it in order to
inspire our efforts and actions. The future is not what it used to be,
nor
is it when it used to be.
Negroponte concludes his book by stating that the
future is here, now. Indeed, the future is here, now and
the technological change is ongoing in what could be described as a non-linear
continuum."
"Media is being consumed across an
increasing number of platforms, including TV, the Internet, mobile, and DVR," said NBC Universal
Entertainment co-chairman Ben Silverman. "The next generation of media will be defined by the players who can
capitalize on those trends and
deliver integrated, compelling content across all platforms."

Big business awaits as TV content owners worldwide increasingly move
online during the next five years.
Global online TV and video revenues will grow five times their current
size to reach $21.52 billion in 2016 from $3.48 billion in 2010,
according to London-based media research company Digital TV Research.
One big mover will be so-called "Over-The-Top" (OTT) alternative
TV/video providers that use the Internet to act like terrestrial cable
operators and/or satellite programming services.
The report says: “The OTT television and video sector is on the brink of
a huge take-off as the key players expand internationally, companies
consolidat[ing] (with Hulu about to be sold to one of existing major
players) and as new partnerships are announced on a daily basis.”
Skyrocketing growth will also result as more global homes watch TV and
video via the internet. By 2016, 415 million homes in 40 countries will
watch online television and video, up from 177 million in 2010.

The Carmel
Group senior analyst Jimmy Schaeffler said, "Now the power
is slowly shifting to the consumer. These new digital technologies
stretching
from DVRs to the Web are turning the business upside-down." Although
kinks in the model have yet to be resolved, the momentum is
undeniably -- indeed, relentlessly -- forward. "It's very much a
youth-driven revolution," Schaeffler says. "Technology makes digital
distribution very desirable,
and the forthcoming generations will demand
it."
