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>

motherfuxker~這廝的精英意識讓人受不了;我個人很期待web 2.0時代的無政府狀態^^
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!
评分so rude!!
评分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Fascinating views on why people working collectively online but quite a subject book with Author's propensity to give a lofty discourse on why web 2.0 has damaged our life.
焦建/文 这么多年来,我一直自嘲没上过学,只是混了个文凭,这话是实话。当年上学的时候,上课只是跟同学们联络感情的手段,没人管也不服从管教的结果是,更多的时候,我是泡在图书馆里长大的。囫囵吞枣的结果是,说法听了一堆,段子能讲一把,但学问不见长进。但说归说,好处...
评分我们经常听到官方说,国情不同。这四个字仿佛一把万能钥匙,当固有的理论豪宅走到山穷水尽之时,大管家出来手持这把钥匙一转,就领你进到一个新房间——不管灯光有多昏暗,先进去再说。笃信普世价值的人群往往对这四个字嗤之以鼻,将其归结为监守自盗的说辞,但至少对于基恩的...
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...
评分曾经以为国人一向要么不做,要做就做过了。超级女声火了,全国都是选秀节目;刘谦火了,全国都是魔术;非诚勿扰火了,全国都是相亲节目。每次一定要把好好的东西,火到让人恶心。想不到国际友人也是如此,大多数人都是为利益所动的,免费的大餐人人都是要吃的,吃得火爆了...
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...
