"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 Truth According To Wikipedia

The questions surrounding Wikipedia lead to a bigger discussion of Web 2.0, a phenomenon in which the user determines the content. Examples include YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, and Wikipedia. These sites would appear to provide new freedom and opportunities for undiscovered talent and unheard voices, but just where does the boundary lie between expert and amateur? Who will survive according to the laws of this new "digital Darwinism"? Are equality and truth really reconcilable ideals? And most importantly, has the Internet brought us wisdom and truth, or is it high time for a cultural counterrevolution?
