Check out this excellent TED @State talk from the smartest Clay I know.
The most important changes Clay highlights:
“The media that is good at creating conversation is no good at creating groups. The media that is good at creating groups is no good at creating conversation.”
“The internet is the first medium in history that has native support for groups and conversations at the same time.”
“As all media gets digitized, the internet becomes the mode of carriage for all other media.”
“Members of the former audience can now be producers instead of consumers. The same equipment lets you consume and produce.”
And my favorite quote from the entire video:
“The moment we’re living through, the moment our historical generation is living through, is the largest increase in expressive capability in human history.”
The boldness of that statement is overshadowed only by its accuracy.

This was a fantastic talk — I actually came across this on your blog, saved it for later, then accidentally came across the same talk when I was browsing YouTube on my XBox. Too much serendipity for me, stopped everything I was doing and had to watch. Glorious.
