Blogging the future?

Googlezon-The future of blogging? The Epic Movie states that Google and Amazon will join together to form Googlezon in 2008 to provide custom news for every user. There are a few matters to discuss in the 'future of blogging' The news we are given by computers.
  1. The fact that computers are deciding what we receive as news is a concern. If a human is writing and providing the stories we understand their news agenda which a computer of course does not possess.
  2. Is copyright defunct in the digital age? The fact that people already download music and videos illegally for their own benefit instead of paying mean that companies like Google cannot just copy articles from other sites and use their stories instead of writing their own.
  3. The positive of Googlezon is that it gives a indepth comprehensive detail of the world in regards to new stories. However there is a negative side to this form of supplying news to every person in the world. The fact that they decide what people's interests are and they send them the news that they feel that they would be most interested in and therefore they would have a very nallow and shallow recieving of news.
