Where Are we Going?

• Personal • Closely Linked with Multimedia Community• Guiding Principle:

Copernican Revolution in Computing

Who is the King:Content (Data) or User?

Content (Data) is the King.

Lot of information is there. But, do we get what we want?

A terrible airplane crash in Timbuktu. More than 300 casualties.

Andrew Strauss hits a Century – England wins.

Jay Stanley wins the MVP of the game. Again.

Which will be on BBC and all Newspapers?Which News is really important?Jay is my grand-son. Does that change priorities?

Gutenberg’s influence is ending.

Some Concerns for our ACM MM Family

• Very conservative• Live in Virtual World• ACM MM has a wonderful chance to be a

leader, but …

A Dream related to my ACM Family

• We will lead the media revolution – enter new age after the Gutenberg era.

• We will lead industry, rather than follow.• We will take the media revolution to the

Middle of the Pyramid.
