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>
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...
評分精英主义,和反精英主义的反动 ——基恩何时走上TED大会的讲台? 基恩认为,业余人士终究是业余人士;精英总归是精英。 与基恩观点针锋相对的另一位网络研究者Clay Shirky认为,哪怕是最愚蠢的创作行为,也终归是艺术。[GSS:参见其TED报告,How cognitive surplus will cha...
評分 評分书中提到的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...
評分当年读《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...
motherfuxker~這廝的精英意識讓人受不瞭;我個人很期待web 2.0時代的無政府狀態^^
评分簡直要負分...標題/概念太吸引瞭,結果裏麵的論證完全...excuse me!?corelation和causation的邏輯呢!
评分Although it is too critical and cynical, it actually raises good points.
评分作者發現瞭很多引人思考的問題,但卻總是站在過去的立場看問題,很令人遺憾。
评分so rude!!
