Democratized Media

1) Any media, news article, song, film, that is produced Keen defines it democratizing. Wikipedia is a great example of this. Anyone at any point on any topic could post something on this information data base. So how do we know what sources are reliable is anyone can just post any information? Keen believes that democracy could potentially and is starting to change everything we now know about the media. Keen believed that all content, media, information, and audience would be democratized as well also by Web 2.0. It turns our Keen was right, the Internet would change because it is open to all opinions, and ideas. This information the people post does not necessarily have to be right information. 

2). 2) Our modern society is becoming way to over dependent with using the Internet, both Keen and Rushkoff may agree with this statement. Keen believes that the web 2.0 is corrupting peoples ideas and thoughts. Rushkoff does not exactly believe with Keens idea but instead Keen does believe that people who are being exposed to the web 2.0 is not a good idea. I do agree with both aspects. I do believe that having web 2.0 and all sources of information and how easy it is to access information even if it is not right was destine to happen. It is up to the individual to believe what he or she sees on the Internet.
