Weekend Video: Clay Shirky at Web 2.0 Expo
“Media that’s targeted at you but doesn’t include you, may not be worth sitting still for.”
I’ve been meaning to post this for a long time. Clay Shirky gets at the impact of the architecture of participation and (sometimes) traditional media’s lack of understanding of the change we’re now experiencing. It’s less than 20 minutes, it’s informative, it’s fun… and it’s a better use of my cognitive surplus than sitting in front of a screen without a mouse.
UPDATE: Check out Jay Rosen’s excellent, related essay.
