Interesting article about Web 2.0 and 'digital narcissism' - essential reading for the exam. So, what are you waiting for, read it!
Is Andrew Keen, author of 'The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet is Killing Our Culture and Assaulting Our Economy', actually on to something? Your comments...

I said this in the lesson but its still agrivating me, he's done a blog about their being less blogs?! He dislikes this swamp of rubbish from people he labels amateurs, yet presents us with no evidence that he is an expert? If he doesn't want to read about a twelve year old with major teenage angst then can you guess what the solution is... don't read them duuuuuuuh. Not a massive fan of blogs and mespace and stuff like that but if people us it as a means of expressing themselves don't take it away from them. Yeah there's some sickos out there post themselves killing, like, baby rabbits and stuff but you've got to be weird to watch it anyways and people who say "oh you might find it by mistake and it might damage our delicate children and make them freaky and warped oooooh nooooooo!" duuuh if a videos got "ultra sick stuff I'm doing with the aid of a rake a meat grinder and two bazilion babies" you can't really get it wrong and "accidently" find it, you kids are a lost cause if they do that and you should just sedate them now. Grrrrrr Rob Mad......
Haha Rob's comment made me laugh! I do agree to a certain extent that myspace and stuff is digital narcissism, but at the same time people want to put their best pictures on there and stuff because you want to give people the best impression of you... But then is that the real you?
And as Rob said, what a hypocritical man!!!!!
