love the way you write Clay and the topics you choose to write about.
This article is excellent and love your insight
"All of which brings me to the internet. It too democratizes both production and consumption of media. It too is producing a staggering volume of new material, some good but most flyweight. It too is upending the role of traditional gatekeepers and destroying the older economics of scarcity. And it too is leading to a cottage industry of hand-wringing: "Why can't we just get a little bit of internet, but keep most things the way they were?" This is my favourite paragraph. Love it!
Especially where it says why can't we have just a bit of net but keep things the way they are.
Before keeping in touch with loved ones was so precious and cherished especially if far away, these days that innocence has been taken away and we no longer appreciate being able to communicate with loved ones, to the point where it is taken for granted and we no longer communicate. A technology that is meant to transcend geographical borders and bring us closer has resulted in self inflicted isolation.
