With Internet Everyone can Publish

With internet (and blog) everyone can publish, and everyone will. And what an amazing willingness it is when opportunity comes. Have a look at the following statistic:

One thing that we have learned in our industry is that people have a lot to say. They are using the Internet to publish things at an astonishing pace. 120K blogs are created daily — most of them with an audience of one. Over half of them are created by people under the age of nineteen. In the US, nearly 40 percent of Internet users upload videos, and globally over fifteen hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. The web is very social too: about one of every six minutes that people spend online is spent in a social network of some type.

Publishing used to be constrained by physical limitations. You had to have a printing press and a distribution network, or a transmitter, to publish to any sort of critical mass, so broadcasting was the norm. No more. Today, most publishing is done by users for users, one-to-one or one-to-many (think of Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, and YouTube). Free speech is no longer just a right granted by law, but one imbued by technology.

    Orang yang online dalam sebuah jaringan sosial dari memang semakin menunjukkan gejala yang dahsyat.

    apa jadinya 5 tahun ke depan ya?

    it is also a big chances for the developing country’s peoples -like us- to shout our thought and vision to the world or to make counter opinions towards most western news that always put us in harm.
