it's you, you, you
December 18, 2006
OK, when I first heard that Time’s “Person of the Year” for 2006 is “you,” I thought it was soooo cheesy. But I actually enjoyed the article. Check it out.
I liked this quote:
But look at 2006 through a different lens and you’ll see another story, one that isn’t about conflict or great men. It’s a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It’s about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people’s network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It’s about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes.
A little dose of hope in the mainstream media every now and then is not a bad thing.
