The document discusses the evolution of personalized media and the challenges it presents. It notes that as the amount of available content grows, it becomes harder for people to obtain, choose, and sort through everything. Personalization aims to help with this by filtering content based on popularity, affinity, and suggestions. However, personalization also risks people no longer being able to arbitrate for themselves or recognize content that doesn't directly resemble their interests. Moving forward, the media will need to balance highly personalized experiences with exposing people to unexpected or diverse content. It will also need to address challenges like personalization mutating audiences and the public nature of private personal data used for personalization.

MEDIA:
HELP ME SORT
The more we have access to
content, the harder it is to obtain,
choose, sort, identify...
...We work to filter this:
- by popularity
- by affinity
- by suggested shortcuts

8. WHAT I WANT FROM MY
MEDIA:
INSPIRE ME
There’s so much to see and tell
through advertising and marketing.
One of the best ways to get an idea
is to share it with family and
friends...
... my family and friends are a filter
of choice:
- what they like
- what they do
- what they want

11. WHAT I WANT FROM MY
MEDIA:
RESEMBLE
ME (SERIOUSLY)
Since the best way to serve is by
better knowing ourselves, the media
must learn from us (our actions, our
statements, our opinions, our
whereabouts).
What I appreciate, what I do, what I
will do... welcome to preemptive
media.

For fans of the New York Giants:
"Hakeem Nicks played an excellent game and helped the Giants beat the Patriots 21-17 in Indianapolis.
Thanks to this victory, New York wins the Superbowl."
For fans of the losing team:
"After an average game played by Tom Brady, the Patriots lost against the Giants 21-17. The New England
Patriots came close to a victory but were unable to obtain the championship title."

ADAPT
YOURSELF
Because I don’t consult content in

I’m on a bus, at work, at home, with
friends...
...technology works to recognize the
environment I’m in and adapt its
context accordingly.

A strong signal: television is
reinventing itself and moving towards
taking a strong position in the mobile
industry. To interact with content
being broadcast. To interact with
others.
Background: combine sources and
screens so that everyone has their
own variation of content or service.

23. OUR CHALLENGES:
#1 MUTANT
AUDIENCE
Personalization and tracking mutate
individuals: more specialized, more
precise, more efficient, more
connected...
...but less likely to learn or discover
something by surprise. The media
must compensate for this.

24. OUR CHALLENGES:
#2 A PUBLIC
PRIVATE LIFE
Digital media has established itself as
an extension of ourselves... On the
condition that we make our
personal data public.
This «big data» creates a new
relationship of trust and
confidentiality.
