Where do people find the time?
Growing up with the Internet (my parents got dial up when I was eight or nine years old), I always despised the television, but lacked the historical framework to explain why. Broadcast news and sitcoms were my usual targets, and I would contrast the passive isolation of watching television with the participatory, group nature of the Web.
Clay Shirky offers a persuasive framework for understanding how the Web is changing/has been changing/will continue to change society.
Enjoy.
