We had blogs, then podcasts, now vlogs (video blogs). New vocabulary all the time. Changing the media stronghold. I saw the movie “Good Night and Good Luck”. It addressed the power of the networks & bemoaned the dumbing down of the medium. The networks got stale with too much power. They started entertaining more than informing. But in this case I see a bright future.

Disperse the power and the result is more creativity (capitalism in a sense). We’ll also have more control over what we see and hear. Those who want garbage can have it, but the rest of us can access a lot of history and experts in ways we haven’t been able to before. Plus we can prevent our kids from seeing trash. We can block content we don’t want. We can see the good stuff, produced by a broad range of people, on our own time.
Good news.
