Inform­a­tion R/evolution from Michael Wesch, Assist­ant Pro­fessor of Cul­tural Anthro­po­logy at the Kan­sas State University.

The per­spect­ive provided by his­tory is always import­ant when con­sid­er­ing where we have been, and where we are going. There are cyn­ics who still deride the user gen­er­ated revolu­tion, and yet it has changed everything that we once thought about inform­a­tion. The only ques­tion now is what next? How can we evolve from the near com­plete devol­u­tion of inform­a­tion that has taken place over the last 12 years?
