Object Based Media
@cubicgarden | https://thenextweb.com/media/2016/03/09/bbc-r-and-d-object-based-media/

8.
Media + Metadata = Objects
The idea behind ‘object-based’ media is that you take all the
assets for a given TV or radio show – the video clips, the
accompanying audio, any music soundtrack, and extras like
subtitles and sign language translations
Wrap it up in useful metadata and then use software to ‘remix’
it when needed

Media with more potential
This opens up huge possibilities for new forms of content
because once you have these objects, you can do so much
more with them

18.
Relevance
It will be very hard for people to
watch or consume something
that has not in some sense been
tailored for them

Attention is a scarce commodity

The attention economy
“Wanting people to listen, you can’t just
tap them on the shoulder any-more.
You have to hit them with a
sledgehammer, and then you’ll notice
you’ve got their strict attention”
- John Doe
