I'm listening to an audiobook whose reader is not as good as some of these voices. At one level, I'm impressed but at an another I'm sadden since we are heading towards uncharted territory. We are looking at a future where we'll have content, video,audio, and text by the truckload. More does not mean better. It just mean more blah stuff.

The key will be authenticity and trust. And in the world where the percentage of online content that contains this ends up in the vast minority of content, in person expertise and meetings will have to make a return out of sheer necessity.
It's starting to very much feel like we're entering the age of information manipulation outlined in the Ghost in the Shell TV series. Except it isn't a 90's/00's depiction of the future, it's just with far less robots and prosthetics and a lot more mundane.
I just keep coming back to the scene where they have satellite video footage of a nuclear submarine preparing for a nuclear attack and the discussion lamenting that it's just video, nobody will believe it as evidence.
