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 rein 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.

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...

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...

刚刚读完。 这本书的英文名是The Cult of the Amature,直译的话应是“业余者的狂欢”,而且从书的内容来说,这个翻译更贴切、务实些。 全书中最有价值的部分,探讨的是业余者在Web2.0时代肆无忌惮的将专家的声音盖过,网络用户被铺天盖地的垃圾信息所环绕,对事物失去认知,...

看到王小峰在不许联想中说自己读到一本好书《网民的狂欢》,不知道到底是怎么样的一本书,所以趁着五一放假在万圣买了一本。恰巧五一期间又在看bbc的virtual revolution,两厢映照便有了一些看法。 其实我刚一拿到《网民的狂欢》就很不喜欢,因为其英文名字明明为the cult of t...
