I have learned a lot of useful information in this class so far. I have learned about how to use Twitter, Blogger, and del.icio.us and how they can be useful in everyday life. I have learned that with these new technologies information can be accessed and delivered by anyone all over the world more easily. They can also help to communicate with other people or allow someone to express themselves in any way that they choose.
I think that most of Clay Shirky's ideas are correct.
He believes that if someone spends all of their time playing online video games in their basement it's fine as long as they are doing something. I agree with this because if someone spends a lot of their free time playing a lot of online video games they are participating with the rest of the world. Something that they wouldn’t be doing if all that they did was just spend all of their time watching television in their basement. Participation is something that the word needs the most at this point. I agree that most people in the world today are just too lazy to participate with the rest of the world.
