We all create for one another. And our creations assume a life of their own.
I thought it was Leslie Fiedler who first wrote that the “novel is dead,” though my decision engine brings me to this attribution to Naipaul. Of course whomever made that statement knew full well that novels will keep getting written; the argument regards the art-form rather than the creative artifact. Ah, for the days of life […]
Sure. I’m a watcher. An Idol fan. Though I mostly avoid the audition shows.
Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, I feel the need to write what’s perfectly obvious to me. When Simon Cowell leaves the show after this season, the only logical replacement is Dick Cheney. Right?
When will we start seeing Wired headlines along the lines of “3D — the Next Multitouch” or some other such goofball thing. Certainly, compute power is at the threshold of delivering compelling 3D applications, so this movement should be about more than just buzz.

It’s already old hat to dismiss mass produced TV, video, film, and music as 20th Century. Technology has ushered in a personalized and customized media experience. Yet it’s at best non-informative and at worst trite to call this New Media or Media 2.0 — this is truly a revolutionary new movement where we all create for one another. And our creations assume a life of their own.
