“Once upon a time, Web 2.0 promised to break down old structures, democratize information, and upend the elites. Now that web publishing is becoming as ossified as Old Media, what's the next big disruption?”
I responded:
Has anyone stopped to think that maybe defining technological change in terms of phase shifts and "1.0", "2.0" iterations is a silly thing to do? In all cases, the technology that comes out on a given day is only 24 hours more advanced than the technology that came out the day before. While demanding groundbreaking innovation is good motivation to make it happen, it is silly to decide that the next iteration is now, because..."it's about that time!"
