作者发现了很多引人思考的问题,但却总是站在过去的立场看问题,很令人遗憾。
评分Offering concrete solutions on how we can reign in the free-wheeling, narcissistic atmosphere that pervades the Web
评分简直要负分...标题/概念太吸引了,结果里面的论证完全...excuse me!?corelation和causation的逻辑呢!
评分Reek of elitism. Simple-minded, empty arguments; confused logic; twisted facts.

安德鲁·基恩,美国著名媒体人,频繁出现在各大媒体节目中,如,福克斯新闻、CNN国际、BBC晚间新闻等。他还为《伦敦独立报》写一个关于企业重组的专栏,同时也在为Dutch paper Volkskrant 和the Belgium daily De Standaard 两个纸媒撰写专栏。
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>
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,...
评分当年读《娱乐至死》,就备受震撼。在我们习以为常的媒介生活中,在我们每日接触的海量信息中,媒介居然扮演着如此负面的角色。 在大众媒体发展早期,从古腾堡开始,人类以为自己进入了彻底的、完美的信息世界,社会中的一切都变得透明,人类即将实现终极民主。人们甚至...

评分前不久,茅盾文学奖得主麦家一语惊人:“如果给我权力,我就想消灭网络。”原因是,“我也跟很多网络作家交朋友,我认为其中99.9%是垃圾,只有0.1%是精华。”很多人认为,麦家“消灭网络”的言论是对“网络民主”的一大亵渎。可是,当我第一次在微博上看到这则新闻时,恕我直言...
评分这本书没啥意思。作者是一个极端的精英主义者,虽然在结论中提出应当避免技术所带来的负面影响,还是有点警示作用,但是其立论的根据却是相当薄弱,用非常守旧的思想去看待新生的事物,盗版、欺诈、隐私这些问题不是web2.0造成的,没有互联网,这些问题依然存在,而作者却把这...
