Clay Shirky End of audience 2009

social capital

the moment were living for is the largest increase in expressive capability  
only 4 periods in the last 500 years media as changed enough
1. printers
2. telegraph, telephone 
3. photos, recorded sound, movies
4. electromagnetic signal- tv and radio 

media that is good at creating conversation is no good at creating groups 
media that is good at creating groups is no good at creating conversation.

internet gives group and individual conversation 

Internet becomes the carriage for all other media phone calls, text, tv, social media all carried by the internet, every media is next door to every other media. 

audience can now be producers instead of just consumers 

news stories are found from twitter before any official reports- news is reported live on twitter. 
gives power to citizens 


china is probably the best social manager in the world 


people can interact with higher powers and create conversation with each other. 

ametures are more than professionals 
most media that is produced now is produced by ammetures

Plan b Ted talk


-no respect for authority because they felt they were ignored by society like stye didn't belong.
- didn't listen to anyone apart from music inspirations e.g. rap artists
- their words guided youths but some of those words were negative.
hip-hop like poetry or reading a book.
plan b wanted to change things change newspapers and news that he didn't agree with.
didn't agree with the mentality a lot of children had
children from broken families surrounded by drink and drugs and parents that were negative influences
children abused physically or mentally
one positive person can change a persons life.
wanted representation of ill manors to be accurate
demonisation of the youth
how can you judge these youths if you've never met them... judge them on what you see in the media.
beat into apathy
don't let the media sway you, don't be naive
