Have you noticed:  Content everywhere, anytime and on every device is finally a reality!  

Due to technical progress, we see radical changes in media content and platforms. The number of TV stations and online platforms is increasing, creating demand for both original and acquired content. The traditional roles and definitions of media categories are eroding, the fragmentation of content and media continues, media are merging, high profile Hollywood film directors and talent start producing TV and online content without hesitation. 

The traditional value chain is outdated: TV series find their way into film festivals, online content is sold on global TV markets, live events are screened in cinemas worldwide, premieres become online events. The film industry is questioning their business models and is chasing the constantly changing market conditions and consumer needs, in order to secure its sustainability.

Google Glass

Google appears ready to take it's cutting edge eyewear public soon, announcing that Google Glass will be made available with prescription lenses.  

I've worn a beta version and I'm excited about possibly getting a pair with real lenses rather that just the frames you see in this demonstration.

Hold your breath though when it comes to cost.  There's a $1,500 entry fee to the Explorer Program in addition to the $225 cost for the Internet-enabled headset.
