Consumption Journal: 15 years from now...

 My personal locus in 15 years will primarily consist of providing for my family and succeeding in my career. I will have a wife and two kids which I will put first in my life; this means do everything I can to care for them (goal number one). I work in music management and focus on the careers of musicians. As a result, one my goals is to persuade others in the interest of my musicians. In addition, I hope to make a steady income to provide for my family and myself in order to live a long and happy life. Hopefully I will retire early and spend a good amount of time on my yacht in the Caribbean. 


 In 15 years from now, general media categories will be presented to us through computers. All of these media categories will mainly be connected to the Internet. The Internet will have books, online programing (television), movies, music, video games, and radio. These different forms of media will all merge under the Internet. Computers will be the way in which individuals consume their media. 


 On a general day, I will find myself constantly connected to these media forms through the Internet. I will wake up and gather my news from the main media center computer in my house (which will have Internet, television, etc.). I will then use a portable form of this computer (about the size of a wrist watch) and listen to the radio, watch television shows, and surf the internet while doing my morning jog. Next, on a separate computer, I focus my attention on my work for the day which consists of managing my clients. In my home office on a laptop I will listen to music, send emails, and make phone calls. When the work day is done I will relax by catching my favorite "television shows" on my media center computer through the internet. Then I'll download a movie from a Blockbuster type database.
