Free culture – e-media comes of age – Sara Mills, MM28,
April 2009
-
Tim Berners-Lee – not his idea of interactivity
– but we’re getting there
-
Wikipedia – subject to editing – people do like
to change but it is peer-reviewed and fixed within a few hours – uses roll-back
to previous editions
-
Wikipedia does promote it’s own fallacy –
ironically making it more reliable: entries are supposed to be cross-referenced
-
Proximity and immediacy over skill and
professionalism
-
Restricts ‘power’ and ‘agency’ for the audience
to those with access to technology and the internet/fast connections –
particularly Europe/US and parts of Asia
-
Wikipedia isn’t available in every language –
neither is the internet
