Epic 2014 is the original flash online movie made by Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson with original music by Aaron McLeran for the fictional Museum of Media History. Epic 2015 is an updated version with a vision of the future set in 2015. Set in 2014 epic charts the history of the Internet, the evolving mediascape and the way news and newspapers were affected by the growth in online news. It explores the effects that the convergence of popular news aggregators (such as Google News) with other web technologies like blogging, social networking and user participation may have on journalism, and society at large, in a hypothesized future. It coined the word "Googlezon" from a future merger of Google and Amazon to form the Google grid, and speaks of news wars with the Times becoming a print only paper for the elite culminating in EPIC Evolving Personalised Information Construct As a flash animation, this film is extraordinary, not just for it's use of technology but for it's fantastic perception looking forward.
