The Cult of the Amateur pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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>
安德魯·基恩,美國著名媒體人,頻繁齣現在各大媒體節目中,如,福剋斯新聞、CNN國際、BBC晚間新聞等。他還為《倫敦獨立報》寫一個關於企業重組的專欄,同時也在為Dutch paper Volkskrant 和the Belgium daily De Standaard 兩個紙媒撰寫專欄。
Although it is too critical and cynical, it actually raises good points.
評分簡直要負分...標題/概念太吸引瞭,結果裏麵的論證完全...excuse me!?corelation和causation的邏輯呢!
評分Offering concrete solutions on how we can reign in the free-wheeling, narcissistic atmosphere that pervades the Web
評分Reek of elitism. Simple-minded, empty arguments; confused logic; twisted facts.

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...
評分这是一本被忽视的好书。 几乎每一个看过这本书的人都说这是一本好书。 甚至有朋友还专门打电话给我,想说点关于这本书的东西。 这在以往来讲是很少见的。 虽然我们也推出过很多畅销书,出版过很多好书, 但朋友要亲自打电话告诉我,说这本书好。这还是第一次。 让我很感动。 但...
評分这本书没啥意思。作者是一个极端的精英主义者,虽然在结论中提出应当避免技术所带来的负面影响,还是有点警示作用,但是其立论的根据却是相当薄弱,用非常守旧的思想去看待新生的事物,盗版、欺诈、隐私这些问题不是web2.0造成的,没有互联网,这些问题依然存在,而作者却把这...

評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...
