How will content be created?

Just a few quick snapshots from what the content panel are saying:

Ross Gibson says that older people were brought up with a didactic model, but younger people operate with a heuristic model - they experiment and try things, use content in different ways. This dirives use of smaller, shorter media.

Ian Gardiner says that he doesn't think that feature films will be released online for a good while. People need to be able to use a remote control, which can't be done on a PC now. But in the future movie stars won't get paid $20 million a film - big films will exist, but attention will shift elsewhere.

Ben Barren said that local content and local search is not going away. Content creators can begin to make money. RSS needs a new name.

Hugh Martin had an editor who thought readers should read about important political things. That's not what people want - people can now choose. The real question is how we subsidise expensive content when old business models fade away.

Just a few tiny gems from a fantastic panel....
