HW 14: Joi Ito's Interview

In Joi Ito's interview they ask him what he thinks about the blogging phenomenon of 2005 and he says that the tools to create and publish content have become affordable where as it used to require a good amount of money to become any type of creater or publisher. In other words, years ago to become an investore required money, a good education and many other things, but now you can have any type of job and manage to be a blogger, creater or anything without being wealthy. Along the same lines, Ito discusses how things are the computer are connected to the network so they are basically not in the owners control, any computer can get virus's and spam regardless of what protecters they have set up on the computer. In addition to people being able to read about, write about, and comment on whatever they want, in blogs it is very easy to ignore something that it not important to the reader, or if someone writes something interesting it is easy to find it.
