The Cult of the Amateur pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Amateur hour has arrived, and the audience is running the show
In a hard-hitting and provocative polemic, Silicon Valley insider and pundit Andrew Keen exposes the grave consequences of today’s new participatory Web 2.0 and reveals how it threatens our values, economy, and ultimately the very innovation and creativity that forms the fabric of American achievement.
Our most valued cultural institutions, Keen warns—our professional newspapers, magazines, music, and movies—are being overtaken by an avalanche of amateur, user-generated free content. Advertising revenue is being siphoned off by free classified ads on sites like Craigslist; television networks are under attack from free user-generated programming on YouTube and the like; file-sharing and digital piracy have devastated the multibillion-dollar music business and threaten to undermine our movie industry. Worse, Keen claims, our “cut-and-paste” online culture—in which intellectual property is freely swapped, downloaded, remashed, and aggregated—threatens over 200 years of copyright protection and intellectual property rights, robbing artists, authors, journalists, musicians, editors, and producers of the fruits of their creative labors.
In today’s self-broadcasting culture, where amateurism is celebrated and anyone with an opinion, however ill-informed, can publish a blog, post a video on YouTube, or change an entry on Wikipedia, the distinction between trained expert and uninformed amateur becomes dangerously blurred. When anonymous bloggers and videographers, unconstrained by professional standards or editorial filters, can alter the public debate and manipulate public opinion, truth becomes a commodity to be bought, sold, packaged, and reinvented.
The very anonymity that the Web 2.0 offers calls into question the reliability of the information we receive and creates an environment in which sexual predators and identity thieves can roam free. While no Luddite—Keen pioneered several Internet startups himself—he urges us to consider the consequences of blindly supporting a culture that endorses plagiarism and piracy and that fundamentally weakens traditional media and creative institutions.
Offering concrete solutions on how we can reign in the free-wheeling, narcissistic atmosphere that pervades the Web, THE CULT OF THE AMATEUR is a wake-up call to each and every one of us.</p>
安德鲁·基恩,美国著名媒体人,频繁出现在各大媒体节目中,如,福克斯新闻、CNN国际、BBC晚间新闻等。他还为《伦敦独立报》写一个关于企业重组的专栏,同时也在为Dutch paper Volkskrant 和the Belgium daily De Standaard 两个纸媒撰写专栏。
作者发现了很多引人思考的问题,但却总是站在过去的立场看问题,很令人遗憾。
评分没什么内容,看个标题简介你就算读了这本书了
评分some chapters are fun to read, some are wasting of ink
评分简直要负分...标题/概念太吸引了,结果里面的论证完全...excuse me!?corelation和causation的逻辑呢!

我推荐喜欢关注互联网未来的朋友看看这本书。 我倒不是作者安德鲁的知音,但我也不像他那样对另一个安德森(长尾理论的提出者)那样深恶痛绝,至于安德鲁批评网络游戏和色情成瘾的章节,总让我忍不住想起陶宏开教授,哈哈,美国人也不缺陶宏开式的人啊。 不过安德鲁不是陶宏...
评分在我们这样的世界,指望媒介和社会来帮助自己进行事实判断和价值判断,显得有些奢望了。 面对大规模的业余化,一个独立的人所应该掌握的人的人文社科类的知识: 1)媒介素养 2)逻辑学/批判性思维 3)哲学基础(丧失哲学基础的后果,就是人活着没有特定的立场,而只有飘忽的立...
评分 评分书中提到的web2.0的缺陷与问题,有哪些是社会固有,被网络技术激发起来的;哪些是网络创造出来的;哪些即使没有网络,也是那样子的? 在我看来,书中提到的大多数问题,都是经过网络新技术放大而已,本来它们就是存在在那里。 有些问题,根本就是任何新事物都会少年期都会遇见...
评分精英主义,和反精英主义的反动 ——基恩何时走上TED大会的讲台? 基恩认为,业余人士终究是业余人士;精英总归是精英。 与基恩观点针锋相对的另一位网络研究者Clay Shirky认为,哪怕是最愚蠢的创作行为,也终归是艺术。[GSS:参见其TED报告,How cognitive surplus will cha...
