DreamWorks Animation’s CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg made heads turn recently at the Cannes Lions, as he stuck his neck out and stated that the online video streaming giant -YouTube – will become the dominant platform in which media will be consumed in half a decade, dwarfing current television giants.

Katzenberg went onto describe YouTube as a fantastic platform for studios to discover new talent and encouraged more companies to seriously think of investing in the platform beginning now.

According to DWA’s top boss, YouTube allows anyone to tell their stories and there is no big barrier that’s holding back content creators and owners from entering this realm of freely available content.

He rightly explained how content that’s created for the mobile platform becomes a much more personal experience for the consumer and allows one to get sucked into the lives of different people and really transform into an immersive experience.

Discussing the new channel for kids, Dreamworks TV, which will distribute over 15,000 hours of content for kids across YouTube, Katzenberg stated that he was very excited to bring his company into a more consumable platform – especially for kids

He further went onto explain that according to recent studies – kids were consuming television, firstly through Netflix and then YouTube, conventional channels were much further down the list.

“YouTube has established a foundation that will in five years be the biggest most valuable media platform by far and there will not be anything remotely close to it,” said Katzenberg. “They have created the bottom of the pyramid and over these next few years we’ll watch the pyramid grow. The advertising community must get in there today on the ground floor and experiment – just the way we are.”

In 1976 Sony introduced the Betamax video cassette recorder. It catalyzed the “on demand” of today by allowing users to record television shows, and the machine ignited the first “new media” intellectual property battles. In only a decade this revolutionary machine disappeared, beaten by JVS’s version of the cassette recorder. This video tells the story of why Betamax failed. This is one of three videos in a series on marketplace failures of technological objects. http://www.engineerguy.com/failure.

Summer, a time where life slows down just enough to taste its sweetness more fully. Where the days are long and the nights are longer. We romance ourselves a little more in this time. We allow life to be savored in every moment, down to the last juicy bite of summer fruit dripping down our chins and sticky hands. And those balmy nights where we gather around the table with good company and linger over the last bite as the conversation and laughter drifts into the stars, carried off by the soft sounds of cicadas. That’s the romance of summer, that’s summer love… ———– Each season, Claire Ragozzino shares a peek inside her kitchen and what she’s cooking to create balanced health.

x.pose is a wearable data-driven sculpture that exposes a person’s skin as a real-time reflection of the data that the wearer is producing. In the physical realm we can deliberately control which portions our bodies are exposed to the world by covering it with clothing. In the digital realm, we have much less control of what personal aspects we share with the services that connect us. In the digital realm we are naked and vulnerable. https://www.behance.net/gallery/17256769/xpose ITP NYU Thesis 2014 Special thanks to: Nancy Hechinger, Ben LIght, Eric Rosenthal, Pedro Oliveira, Talya Stein, Roy Rochlin, Heidi Lee, Rashad Taylor, ITP community, Family & Friends Music: Quantic – Time is the Enemy
