I was asked by The Telegraph’s Shane Richmond to write a blog post ‘from the year 2020′. “OK,” I thought, “so what would a blog post look like in 13 years’ time?” Well, it would almost certainly be mobile, so I filmed it on my phone. Apple will probably be scraping the barrel of products they can ‘re-engineer’ by then, and… well, it’s all in the video. I was hoping to get some video comments too, so if you’re feeling creative, upload a response to YouTube and I’ll add it in…
Hilarious. That video should have been in HD though!

Hello,
I’d like to see subtitles to make stuff more accessible for people with different levels of hearing – do you think people would be more mindful of this by 2020 or that there could be guidelines/quotas laid down so that output was monitored to ensure greater accessibility?
Agree totally, Linda. One of the reasons I rarely podcast/vodcast is accessibility issues. Hopefully the likes of the automated audio-to-text software that The Times uses will become integrated into platforms.
10/10 from our shared office here at Cardiff!
We’re still laughing.
Serious point, though, and one related to something you’ve said in the past Paul.
I think that if video really is the future then there’s gonna have to be a way of making it more interactive… of giving the audience more choice about how they consume it, and what bits they watch.
More comments like that and I’ll start doing it on a regular basis, so be careful!
