Watching Epic 2015 was a very interesting experience for me. It showed a bit of how the internet evolved and then went on to hypothesize how the internet would be like in the year 2015. However, this is the year 2015 and well, nothing that was hypothesized in that clip actually happened. Do note that Epic 2015 was made around 2006, so obviously anything that happens after the year 2006 in that video is made up and was thought to happen as the years went on as the internet got bigger and better.
So Epic 2015 starts at the beginning of the internet which includes the "birth" of TCP/IP or Transmission Control and Internet Protocol. This is the base or foundation of which the internet that we know today resides on. Then goes on to things that we as the common folk know more of like Amazon.com which arose in 1994, Google which arose in 1998, this site that this blog exists on called Blogger which appeared in 1999 and the rise of Gmail in 2004. But after that, actually after 2006 thats when things start to get a little interesting, or more like fictional. The clip goes on to say that Google and Amazon would band together and make something called Goolezon which is yes, both names put together as one if it hasn't been noticed yet.
All in all the fiction of what happens after 2006 in the video and what actually happened after that along with the actual real life events back to the beginning of the internet is very enjoyable and actually gives you some good facts about the beginning of the internet. It also reasonably hypothesizes on what might, but never does, happens on the the year 2015, as Google and Amazon are large powerful companies, it may not come much as a surprise if they do eventually merge together to increase revenue or something.
