Do you believe somehow we are shaped by technologies around us?
Thousands of years ago we are the people around us, guided only by heros in the tale;
Hundreds of year ago we are the people on the paper, guided by books and newspapers, and those great writers behind;
Tens of years ago we are the people on the TV, guided by stars and fashions, and those holywood executives behind;
But, today we are connected with each other as never before, by internet. The emerging technologies i.e. blog, digg, wikipedia, douban demonstrated the collective wisdom, which rapidly decentralizing the power which used to belong to those elites. We are now guided by the posts with highest votes, meanwhile we are part of voters.
Does this indicate a time of personalization would come, because we are NOT following same idols again?
PS: You might want to try this personalized radio service: Pandora. Input one song name, and get all you want. Isn't new technology amazing? Remember, we are part of it, not only for those geeks.
