Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid
Paul Graham writes wonderful essays on technology an sociology including his recent The Power of the Marginal. A choice quotation to whet your appetite:
“The big media companies shouldn’t worry that people will post their copyrighted material on YouTube. They should worry that people will post their own stuff on YouTube, and audiences will watch that instead.”
I told a friend today that 5 years from now I bet we’d be watching more YouTube than regular televsion. Then I though about the past few days and realized that today I watch more YouTube than regular televsion. The Marginal is going mainstream.
