Amateur hour has arrived, and the audience is running the show
In a hard-hitting and provocative polemic, Silicon Valley insider and pundit Andrew Keen exposes the grave consequences of today’s new participatory Web 2.0 and reveals how it threatens our values, economy, and ultimately the very innovation and creativity that forms the fabric of American achievement.
Our most valued cultural institutions, Keen warns—our professional newspapers, magazines, music, and movies—are being overtaken by an avalanche of amateur, user-generated free content. Advertising revenue is being siphoned off by free classified ads on sites like Craigslist; television networks are under attack from free user-generated programming on YouTube and the like; file-sharing and digital piracy have devastated the multibillion-dollar music business and threaten to undermine our movie industry. Worse, Keen claims, our “cut-and-paste” online culture—in which intellectual property is freely swapped, downloaded, remashed, and aggregated—threatens over 200 years of copyright protection and intellectual property rights, robbing artists, authors, journalists, musicians, editors, and producers of the fruits of their creative labors.
In today’s self-broadcasting culture, where amateurism is celebrated and anyone with an opinion, however ill-informed, can publish a blog, post a video on YouTube, or change an entry on Wikipedia, the distinction between trained expert and uninformed amateur becomes dangerously blurred. When anonymous bloggers and videographers, unconstrained by professional standards or editorial filters, can alter the public debate and manipulate public opinion, truth becomes a commodity to be bought, sold, packaged, and reinvented.
The very anonymity that the Web 2.0 offers calls into question the reliability of the information we receive and creates an environment in which sexual predators and identity thieves can roam free. While no Luddite—Keen pioneered several Internet startups himself—he urges us to consider the consequences of blindly supporting a culture that endorses plagiarism and piracy and that fundamentally weakens traditional media and creative institutions.
Offering concrete solutions on how we can reign in the free-wheeling, narcissistic atmosphere that pervades the Web, THE CULT OF THE AMATEUR is a wake-up call to each and every one of us.</p>
这本不乏独立思考但貌似不合时宜的小书,注定会淹没在网络的滚滚言论中,虽然在书中作者的那种“经此世变,义无再辱”的决绝让人不禁动容。然而正如保罗西蒙在谈到唱片业在网络时代的没落时说的,“不管你喜不喜欢,这都是必然要发生的。” 它没有《娱乐至死》那么铿锵震撼的...
评分刚刚读完。 这本书的英文名是The Cult of the Amature,直译的话应是“业余者的狂欢”,而且从书的内容来说,这个翻译更贴切、务实些。 全书中最有价值的部分,探讨的是业余者在Web2.0时代肆无忌惮的将专家的声音盖过,网络用户被铺天盖地的垃圾信息所环绕,对事物失去认知,...
评分书中提到的web2.0的缺陷与问题,有哪些是社会固有,被网络技术激发起来的;哪些是网络创造出来的;哪些即使没有网络,也是那样子的? 在我看来,书中提到的大多数问题,都是经过网络新技术放大而已,本来它们就是存在在那里。 有些问题,根本就是任何新事物都会少年期都会遇见...
评分焦建/文 这么多年来,我一直自嘲没上过学,只是混了个文凭,这话是实话。当年上学的时候,上课只是跟同学们联络感情的手段,没人管也不服从管教的结果是,更多的时候,我是泡在图书馆里长大的。囫囵吞枣的结果是,说法听了一堆,段子能讲一把,但学问不见长进。但说归说,好处...
