Another massive paradigm shift in communications, and I wonder how it's going to work out.

Used to be that I often heard the comment that "the press is free if you own a newspaper." With the internet, suddenly it became possible for people who ordinarily had to post their pamphlets on phone poles around the campus, or hope to God that the local paper would print their letters, to broadcast their thoughts across the planet to millions of people at almost no cost.

Now, this is becoming true for video. Now EVERYBODY can be a TV star, if they have the right stuff. The guys who used to do local cable if they were lucky can now broadcast across the planet.

Amazing. Communication has become egalitarian when nobody was looking.
