"The industry is dead" --> PRESS PAUSE PLAY

“ THE HUMAN SPIRIT, WHEN IT’S ALLOWED TO BECOME MADE MANIFEST THROUGH ART, INVARIABLY IS GOING TO CREATE GREATNESS. IT ALMOST DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THE MEDIUM IS... WHEN HUMANS MAKE THINGS, THEY TEND TO MAKE INTERESTING THINGS... THE DANGER IS PEOPLE BECOMING COMFORTABLE WITH MEDIOCRITY” MOBY

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunites.

'Twitter and Facebook cannot change the real world, says Malcolm Gladwell
The bestselling author of The Tipping Point has enraged social network users by dismissing their impact on real issues '

'Social networks, those loose, busy and self-absorbing communities of Facebookers and Twitterers, have always invited analogies from the insect world. If we are to accept the most common of them, then in the past week, Malcolm Gladwell, provocateur-in-chief at the New Yorker magazine, has poked a sharp stick into the online ants' nest.'

Tim Adams , The Observer, Sunday 3 October 2010

You are kindly invited to read Guardian's article about Mr. Malcolm Gladwell's vision regarding the impact of social networks on real life and then to watch Mr. Andrew Keen's key note at Research Conference, few days ago in London.
I would love to see these wonderful gentlemen debating live ,on You Tube, the future of world.
