Kevin Maney writes an article in today’s USA Today about new media and user-generated content. He talks about major events in 2006 around user-generated content, then wisely comments that the “flavor of the week” usually doesn’t change the world radically. (Remember how artificial intelligence, interactive TV, portals, community sites, and social networking were going to change the world overnight?)
They do tend to change our worlds over time, but the change is more evolutionary.
