There is a new medium that challenges the authority system (Point 2). There are also new places which the pioneer can experience (Point 3). But there hasn’t really been a change in the way of thinking. Many people are still applying the conventional communication principles of the non-wired world to the wired world. For example, many people just take information from the offline world and dump it online, thinking they are using the online medium well. But only a select few grasp the power of the internet to spread ideas like wildfire, popularise concepts and shape mindsets at a much faster rate than other media. So it is taking time for a change of thinking to occur, and this is why we cannot yet call this the beginning of an era. But maybe soon.

Sure, we all see that something happens, the question is how important this will be? It can be major change that will reshape everystructure like the modern era or a big innovation that will impact our lives and our production system like the steam engine… I am dying to know

Nice resume of “Steal This Film”, any inspiration there ?
I defintely think that something bigger is going on with internet. Something that growing fast, which would take less than 50 years to arise. Still 15 years passed, so huge changes…
