«O futuro é um lugar de incerteza (...)»

«The future is a place of uncertainty for research and media analysts. Yet there are tools which allow us to study what is currently shaping the future. We can see the technology landscape emerging and begin to perceive, by our understanding of political economics, media sociology, international communications and information communications technology, the trends and tendencies which lie behind how we as human beings, as consumers and citizens, use and employ new means of communications to extend our social reality and help create media markets and businesses.» (Shaw, 2005: 3)
