“Here Comes Everybody”

here comes everybody by Clay Shirky

notes from the video:

steps within the social effects of the internet:

1. Sharing

2. Conversation

3. Collaboration

4. Collective Action

Over lapping at times, Collective action will be seen more widely in the future as “group making” becomes ridiculously easy

“thinking is for acting”

Media is moving from a source of information to a site of action

Freedom of Speech, is Freedom of the Press, is Freedom of Assembly

The internet is not an improvement of society but a new challenge, just as a society that has a printing press is different from a society that does not, so too are we going though a revolution in the type of society we are.
