I am so excited about what we’re all here to learn. Everybody is connecting so fast, thoughts are exchanging as fast as lightening.

Excellent quotes from Clay Shirky

~ The moment we’re living through, the moment our historical generation is living through, is the largest increase in expressive capability in human history.

~ These tools don’t get socially interesting until they get technologically boring. It isn’t when the shining new tools show up that their uses start permeating society. It’s when everybody is able to take them for granted.

~ Every time a new consumer joins this media landscape, a new producer joins as well because the same equipment, phones, computers, let you consume AND producer. It’s as if when you bought a book, they through in the printing press for free. It’s like you have a phone that can turn into a radio if you press the right buttons. That is a huge change.
