Movies of Tomorrow

I am not sure that I am qualified enough to write a blog on this topic but hey, a lot of inventions happened just by fluke and may be the thoughts in my head will be a reality some day.

It just came to my mind that a lot of movie are developed in 3D now a days and as humans we don't see it as the ultimate things and it isn't like that anything else won't come to take this over. Just like the colors took over the black and whites. Cinema itself will undergo a tremendous change or it may have been developed and will deliver altogether a different experience.

There is a great chances that movie theaters will be shut down and a new, more personal movie experience system will come into existence.

1. Revolving Movie Theater  - Right now it is just the stuff of dreams. As I see it, we will see a revolving movie theater with surreal experiences. You will see a 200-360 Degree screen which will revolve as if the onlooker will be experiencing the same angles as the actors. Just imagine your screen or your seat to revolve to see the next person. May be it is too difficult to think of it at this time but in 100 years of technology we have come in a long way and we will travel miles ahead in the times to come.

2. Just like Video Games - Playing a video game is a fun thing. How much fun it would be to be the hero of the movie that you are going to watch. You will see yourself in the middle, replacing the actors themselves. The watcher will become the actors. Sounds fun? How nice of it would be to allow us to boost ourselves by saving the world from aliens, saving the one we love from villans etc etc etc.

3. Holographic 3D Projection -  How nice it would be to see someone in person. In a concealed room where there are digital images of people(in super 3d). You will see yourself right in the middle again to experience the ultimate form of cinema. This is by far my best bet on the cinema of tomorrow. Just imagine a digital player that will bring out the person right out of the screen in front of yourself. You enjoying the Cinema as if it is happening in front of you.

No one knows for sure about this but hey there is a chance and if any of that happens it will be the next level of entertainment. At least, that is the way I think of it.

The facebook Search Engine - Google Beware

Further to my blog piece speculating on how long will it take for Facebook to die.

There was a time when Yahoo was big until Google outgrew them and eventually like many others in the past, Yahoo was destined to be nothing more than a parasite. Google's simplicity was so appealing that more than half the world understands the Internet by the word Google.

In order to survive. Google moved ahead from Orkut and started Google+. Since, it's inception 3 years back. It has made a small little space in this universe of the Internet. Now, it is time for ThinkTank of Facebook to look beyond the social media experience and create another way to go beyond the uncharted territory of life after Google.

I am pretty sure that Facebook is in the process of developing a search engine which will hook everyone on the internet in a way that they stop going to other search engines and bring all the social media and search functionality under one roof. Facebook will no longer be Facebook. It will become the only word that the next generation will understand. Who knows they may team up with the no longer functioning search engine CUIL for data(if it isn't already sold). After all, they had the claimed to have the largest number of indexed pages.

Some people are speculating the age of Facebook to be between 2-5 years. If this theory goes right. We are looking at an unprecedented world where there wouldn't be anything except them.

Facebook will eventually become the Internet.

How long it will take for Facebook to die?

Facebook, it needs no introductions. I don't see anyone who isn't connected to it in the online world. It has become such a rage that it has swept the entire generation from the play grounds and addicted them to be online. People used to plan and meet, call to know about their wellbeing or just to have a quick chat, texted each other to talk. Everything has been taken from the real world and the experience is digitized. You still talk, message and see each other but in an alternate universe, The INTERNET.

Charles Darwin once said “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”

Till Now, there is one thing that Facebook is doing successfully. They have been constantly adapting to the new challenges that the Internet is throwing at them for survival. The total number of companies is about 46. The first thing that they did was their IPO. With a huge amount of funds at disposal they have been acquiring companies. They make offers that are hard to turn down. Take for example whatsapp, $19 billion is a staggering number to pay for a mobile application service. Similarly, Instagram and there are several others which is making Facebook a fig fat happy family. Seemingly indestructible too.

Now, to the important questions:

Would there be a day that Facebook takes a false step and that will mark the downfall of its popularity.
If you play a game the outcome of it will be decided on the moves that you make. There was a big question on facebook’s  survival when they started to amend the security features.  A couple more in quick succession will surely mark down its likability.

Time and again there are occasions when you see fake profiles and that is a big turn off. One of the major factors that will lead to 



How long they can survive with their marketing strategies and financial planning?
 The IPO is already out and there will be a day when the popularity will decrease and lesser people will invest. At that point, will they have enough to propel another purchase of $billion+. Till when they expect the funds to pour in via advertisements.




And most importantly when will it Die?
Life is a chance but death is sure. Some die as an infant and some make records of longevity. Recently, Orkut has died and similarly, there are others on the way down and it will also go down. It remains to be seen when it will happen. There would be another growing platform taking Facebook to the cleaners.


Having blabbed all this. We are still in the present and we are possessed by the Likes, comments and the color Blue.
