The Cult of the Amateur says yes In his book The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet Is Killing Our Culture, Andrew Keen contends that "user-generated nonsense," is an Internet- induced degradation of morality and an ever-hazier line between what's real and what's imaginary. WHAT DOES THIS MEANS TO GOANET?
Just as Keen compares Web 2.0 to a communist movement, on GoaNet too postings are often written without standards at all with dominant share of voice and the great chaos of Net communication strangling any glimmering of truth, smarts or talent. Chances are most GoaNetters view the futile debates as purely academic exercises and derive entertainment from the frequent infernos. Access to information and networking opportunities are the primary benefits. Does evolution have a chance?
