This section was about the dramatic, and publishing ways of the internet.
Its a new world where amateurs can publish their work online…so its awesome that we all have a chance to be heard or seen, but really…is it just lowering standards?

It seems like everytime a new publishing platform emerges, it has to be “defiled” or “christened” with a tricked ya! Stunt. Orsen Wells and the radio, Photography and darkrooms and now photoshop. The Internet as a means of “self-expression” had to be spoofed as well: like lonelygirl15 and countless others after her did/do.

I do find it interesting that the Internet is kind of a social haven for the anti-social.  Anyone can be outgoing, and have a lot of friends in this realm…Maybe like Marx suggested capitalist society is headed toward alienation, maybe this is the proletariat’s hope for re-connection amongst a lonely world drowned in commerce.
