Ein Streitgespräch, das mehr Gedanken über das Internet und Web 2.0 anregt als alle Artikel, die ich in den letzten Monaten gelesen habe!! Auf der Bühne sitzen Andrew Keen (”The Cult of the Amateur: How Today’s Internet Is Killing Our Culture”) und David Weinberger (”Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder”).

Hier nur kurz der Hut, den Andrew Keen wirft: “Is Web 2.0 a dream or a nightmare? … Yes, the people have finally spoken. And spoken. And spoken.
Now they won’t shut up. The problem is that YOU! have forgotten how to listen, how to read, how to watch. … That’s the dark side of the Web 2.0 story, more Kafka than Disney. While we are all busy embracing our inner user-generated-content, the world — real life rather than Second Life — is passing us by. This is infantilized self-stimulation rather than serious media for adults. Web 2.0’s democratization of information and entertainment is creating a generation of media illiterates. That’s the nightmare. And it’s easy to see. Just go online and look at YouTube, the blogosphere, Wikipedia, MySpace or Facebook.”
