I gave up on the mainstream media in 2002-2003, order in the run up to the Iraq war. Every single channel in the USA was selling the prospect of war like a product, medications a new soap powder. I tried to find coverage of the over one million person protest march in London that I’d heard about via email, tadalafil and it was barely mentioned. The last straw came when I got so angry I nearly threw a chair through my brand new plasma TV, which would have been an expensive outburst, but that’s what you get for watching Fox News for longer than it takes to flip through the channels on the remote.

Peer-to-peer is the key. The shift that is currently taking place is from an old style of centralized network media, to a decentralized peer-to-peer media. You can participate. You should participate. The Internet is what makes this possible.
The change this is going to make in our societies I think will be profound, and I don’t even pretend to know what it will be long term. But I firmly believe it is coming. It’s really exciting to be alive in these times, to see such a major change going on all around us.
