“Can we own sand?” Changing paradigms in media consumption. – by Geoff Peters

Geoff Peters — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 01:59:47 +0000

Geoff Peters, an active contributor to independent media and content, talks about the change from a traditional “ownership” model of media consumption (CD’s, DVD’s) to the current cloud-based on-demand structures (Youtube, Netflix, Flickr, Facebook) that are emerging in prominence today.

Presented by the Best Run Toastmasters club at SAP in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Intro
Survey:
- How many of you have bought a CD or DVD in the last 2 months?
- How many have watched music or video on Youtube, for entertainment purposes, in the last 2 months?
- Closing of Blockbuster, Netflix ending their mail order service = is this a trend?
- In this speech I will talk about this new paradigm of on-demand, cloud based media consumption.

1. What is On Demand?
- When I go to Home Depot, I can buy a bag of sand. Say I want to create a rock garden in my living room. I can bring it home. That sand, a piece of nature, is now owned by me. Now I legally own part of nature.

- When you go to the beach, there is lots of sand.
- But the sand is part of nature, no-one owns it. You can go to the beach and enjoy the sand on-demand.

- New media is more like going to the beach. There is no need to take the beach home (my apartment can’t fit all the sand anyways). I don’t want to buy CD’s or DVD’s and bring them home

2. “From a Copy Economy to an Access Economy” – Gerd Leonhard
- What is the cloud? = your data is hosted by a third party
- Software examples: Gmail, Youtube, SAP On Demand, Netflix, Facebook. Not just hype.

3. Implications:
- With mobile, we are always online, even in car.
- Have access to everything, anywhere, at anytime.
- Revenue / monetization: Subscription based, or advertising.
- Everyone gets more connected and inter-dependent.

Conclusion: This is a paradigm shift – a dramatic change: “A fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions”.
Cloud, on-demand, access, mobile, streaming – key features of media for the next 5 yrs.

Android – The future of Mobile Phone technology?

Geoff Peters — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 00:17:07 +0000

Geoff Peters from geoffmobile.com talks about the future of Google Android, Apple iOS (iPhone) and Nokia’s Symbian in light of the recent news about the increasing popularity and growth of Google Android and the Symbian “burning platform” memo sent to Nokia employees by their CEO.

Also mentioned is a comparison between the standardization on Android and the PC/Windows platform consolidation of the late 80′s / early 90′s.

I also talk about the latest news about the future of Wind Mobile with regards to the difficulties Globalive has had in the Canadian courts (re: court decision that puts Wind Mobile’s future in doubt). I really like Wind Mobile’s service and I hope they are allowed to continue being in business by the Canadian Government.

Mobile Video tips – do a periphery check

Here’s a helpful video tip from Geoffmobile. The idea is to check around the edges of the frame for distracting elements before or while shooting.

Discussion about the future of mobile media and youtube

Geoff Peters — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 06:44:31 +0000

I love new media! In this short video I talk about the exciting trends towards content created by “amateurs” on mobile devices and even predict that user created content will become more compelling but more narrowly targetted than professionally produced content.
