hahahahahahaha yeah, as T.Whid says, Andrew Keen is a troll. Think of Ann Coulter. Clay Shirky does a great job bringing sanity and perspective to his arguments. http://www.boingboing.net/2007/07/09/shirky_explains_why_.html "The internet's output is data, but its product is freedom, lots and lots of freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association, the freedom of an unprecedented number of people to say absolutely anything they like at any time, with the reasonable expectation that those utterances will be globally available, broadly discoverable at no cost, and preserved for far longer than most utterances are, and possibly forever. Keen is right in understanding that this massive supply-side shock to freedom will destabilize and in some cases destroy a number of older social institutions. He is wrong in believing that there is some third way — lets deploy the internet, but not use it to increase the freedom of amateurs to do as they like." Jay Yahoo!
